When Todd Nickell calls "My Plumber" to have his sump pump replaced, the last thing he's expecting is Joanne, a tall beautiful brunette. Convinced that she can fix his life as well as his wet basement, Todd pursues his new interest down a path of sobering self-discovery.
In this humorous but poignant short story by Christian Cantrell, the comedic first-person perspective of a hapless suburban husband and father is a thin veil over the all-too-real tragedy that lies just beneath the surface.
