The Swimtastic Swimsuit-Man
by Ryan Reed
It's 2012, and Jack Johnson, a high schooler, comic-movie nut, and cancer survivor, lives with his distant, widowed Father and his Aunt, who quit her job as a nurse to take care of him. After a dangerous but successful surgical procedure, Jack is in remission and finally has a chance to be more than his illness. He teams up with his best friend and the drama club costume designer to create a movie trailer that'll get them access to a sold-out screening of, what could possibly be, the greatest movie of all time. Unless reality gets him first.
