Field of Periphery

Martin McCullough is an accomplished journalist living in fear of his own irrelevance. His latest escape involves writing a more extensive story, a book, on a fallen sports star – an athlete, not unlike himself in his youth, who had a promising career until a random tragedy stripped it all away. The journalist turned author discovers the book’s success is also fleeting and soon he is struggling with his own cycle of rise and fall, leaving him in fear of his own humanity.
