The Big Finish

A Story from Further Interpretations of Real-Life Events

"The Big Finish," a story from Kevin Moffett's dazzling new collection, Further Interpretations of Real-Life Events, takes readers on board a cruise ship with Hayes, a directionless thirty-something who takes a job as the host of the ship's bird shows for children. In his new role, he develops a strange and unexpected relationship with a fellow employee—and with the birds themselves.
