In I college I wrote a short story inspired by the song "Tranistor Radio" by Cloud Cult, which developed into a longer short story and now serves as the opening section to my novel "Worthwhile." The premise is that a young boy hears his now deceased grandfather's voice in a transistor radio and follows its call in pursuit of adventure.
