Temper Of The Massasauga

Description: Eloisa doesn’t need anyone or anything, not the emotions she always suppresses, not Massasauga, a cartel leader who owns her drug-addicted mother, and certainly not Palmer, her high school teacher. She just wants to go to Alaska, and with tips from Taqueria No. 9, almost has the means to do so. But then Eloisa’s mother dies and Massasauga comes for her. His pursuit of Eloisa sets off a chain of events that lead to her being imprisoned in the Rock Pen where her shell of individuality begins to splinter and she is forced to confront her emotions and rely on others.

Yellowstoners

Description: Tai feels as if he has died and gone to heaven as he journals about his summer. He wants only to spend the rest of his days dreaming about the pretty girls that live at Lake Yellowstone and serving beer to his good buddies at the Lake Pub. But when a seemingly crazy old man tells him about a secret hot spring in Yellowstone’s backcountry, his summer day dreams turn tragic.

Ruben loves cooking in the employee kitchen and drinking beer at the Lake Pub. He is content in his comfortable summer bubble, but a pair of long, tan legs enchant him into a skin-crawling anxiety that leaves him struggling to make a choice: believe the phantom visions of his friend or the lies of the long, tan legs.

J.W., a rascal with a not-so-mild Napoleon complex, adventures through Yellowstone National Park in search of a single word: fun. He detests the nine-to-fivers of the regular world and believes he has found heaven on Earth in Yellowstone. However, when death encroaches into camp, he finds himself drinking alone and wondering why no one will believe the truth that only he can see.

The three traverse down valleys of death, up mountains of ecstasy, and on top of a supervolcano that begins to grumble a dangerous tune as the summer draws to an end.
