A young man who has improbably escaped death twice reveals his secret in a spine-tingling short story by New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill.

Martin Lorensen is a twenty-three-year-old counselor for disturbed teenagers. He's bright, compassionate, attractive, and outgoing. He's also—and this is the most interesting thing—not dead.

Martin has improbably survived not one but two deadly disasters that claimed dozens of lives. The kid is riding one hell of a lucky streak.

Two federal agents think there is something darker at play. Now that they've arranged to interview Martin, they want answers. Martin is ready to share everything he knows.

One thing is for certain: when it comes to escaping death, luck doesn't figure into it at all.
