Tetcher

Young Tetcher has nursed a grudge since childhood after his great-great grandmother promised him the moon would grant his wishes—so when he finally makes his first request on his twenty-first birthday for a grand mansion, a meteor conveniently destroys his cabin instead. As weeks turn to months with no sign of his dream house, Tetcher's patience wears thin and he takes to firing at the moon itself, convinced it's deliberately thwarting him—until fate intervenes in the most unexpected way.
