A Novel

University of Alabama Press, Fiction Collective 2

M— is married with children and working a dead end job solely for the insurance and meager income. He’s in a financial and emotional trough, and thus asks his doctor for Paxil because he's worried he'll never stop worrying. Meanwhile, L— is a college dropout and construction worker. He self-medicates, starting with Ambien. After he accidentally cuts off some fingers he switches to Darvocet. Later his doctor leads him to Zoloft, once the cocktail of pharmaceuticals. The medicine is meant to wake him up, but instead puts him to sleep.
