Through the Fog

by Jim Kohl

Michael Pencher works as a middle school English teacher, but he doesn't have to. His wife, Wendy, brings home enough money to keep him, a fact her father never lets him live down. High blood pressure limits Michael's diet choices, his hair is gone, and he has a shameful tattoo of a mushroom on his shoulder. A student asks Michael what kind of person "he was back in the day," and Michael struggles for an answer. Buying a car helped other men in this situation, so Michael goes "just to look." He takes a 1968 Mustang for a test ride through the fog and ends up in his past at a time when his destiny was set without him. He has a chance to relive this time, but what happens when he gets caught up in it and misses his ride back? Can he face his past to build a better future?
