Winterkill
In winterkill the story starts of depressing and explaining how the narrarator and Harley Reeves have both been laid off from their jobs. Then he goes to the bar and notices a girl who is there and his friend Troy just has to pick up on her and uses a corny pickup line. Troy is in a wheel chair due to a smoke jumper’s injury. The lady at the bar was named Nola. As the conversation carried on and got a little more personal troy invited Nola to go fishing with him and his friend.

Troy was saying that he caught the big one and he needed help. Troy pleaded with Les to help him catch the fish because he did not want to let it go. So Troy and Les struggled and pulled on the line as hard as they could for what seemed like minutes and they could not get it to budge.
