Here's a description of my story, "The Second Fly Caster."

Any thoughts?

Erik, a young boy, is proud that his father, the winner of several state championships, is probably the greatest long distance fly caster on earth. But then an ominous prelude and unexpected outcome of a casting tournament reveal deeper meanings to what had once seemed to be only a sport.

And so Erik is left with unanswered questions, questions that linger and then, years later, deepen when Erik’s idealistic plans and actions are crushed by a horrific reality of the Vietnam War. He struggles, unsuccessfully, with his demons, until a new discovery guide him back to the ways and mysteries of fly casting. Through their prism Erik learns to see the past, and life's possibilities, in a different light.
