This more plausible version of Jonah's story tells it the way it really could have happened. Fish and all.

There, fate deals her one more rotten hand; she learns she has little time left to live. Though Phia might have to die quicker than most, she, by God, won't die in the city of her misery. She loads her despair and her belongings into her car, points it into the setting sun, and begins the long road trip.
