The Hurting Place

George likes being dead. When he wakes up a bottle of Gin takes him back to being dead. But leave it to a kid. One day, without any warning, this half-grown kid named Pug walks into George's old bait stand and convenience store. For George, it's all over. Pug wakes George up and passes on the only thing the boy has of value: Hope. And all because of a patch of woods called The Hurting Place.
