The Last Three Hours - Paperback

by Matson (Author)

In this new collection of short stories, from the author of Watch City and Sometimes Things Go Horribly Wrong, a variety of complex characters encounter desperate choices and life-changing decisions. A college student must decide whether to join his family in an apocalyptic suicide pact, or attempt to survive a potentially endless winter. A cancer patient undergoing radical experimental treatment is given the choice between saving his own life, and the life of a complete stranger. A substitute high school teacher decides to break protocol, and teach his students what life in the real world really entails. The stories of The Last Three Hours will submerge readers in the implications of decisions both large and small, choices both life-altering and life-affirming. What would you do with only one lifetime? With only a few years to live? With only a few hours?
