Channel Locked: a long short story

Two years stuck on the shopping channel. Sixty years stuck with each other. Tonight, the storm changes everything.

Nancy Howard knows her husband hid that remote control. For two years, they’ve been prisoners of the shopping channel, trapped between miracle mops and revolutionary vacuum cleaners while their real war wages in silence.

Gary denies everything, of course. He’s been denying things for decades.

But when a November storm plunges their neighborhood into darkness and something far more dangerous than stubbornness threatens their lives, Nancy discovers that some truths can only surface when everything else gets swept away…

*A wry, tender portrait of a marriage on the brink of its most unexpected chapter.
