Sinking the Eight  by Marc Nieson  

Marc Nieson took first prize in the Literary Magazine's Literal Latte Fiction Award~
"Sinking the Eight" was a short story about a teen struggling with a bipolar father and his mother that eventually leaves them. He is reminiscing as a pilot when he sees someone that reminds him of his mother.

I absolutely loved it. then I saw that he made a film and now I have to see it. "The Dream Catcher", not DREAMCATCHER, "THE Dream Catcher."
