Never Quite Good Enough

A car crashes though the railings on a bridge. Bob skids to a halt and jumps into the dark current below, rescuing one. Later, to avoid a banquet in his honor, he invents a lie about his upcoming wedding. This literary short story is about heroism, dreams that evade a man’s grasp and self-doubt. It’s about the dignity of the common man. A good read at only 2700 words.
