Spin Cycle
by Alfredo Botello
High school math teacher Ezra Pavic is having a rough time. His wife left him, his son barely tolerates him, and now he’s being blindsided by a chapter of life he never saw coming: the emotional spin cycle of parenting his parent. His mother Irene has dementia and it’s exhausting. Caring for his mother is a constant source of frustration, resentment, and guilt. Lots of guilt. In search of others in the same boat, Ezra opens a strip-mall storefront school—APPA (Adults Patiently Parenting Adults). As Ezra learns to handle the personalities of his nine misfit students, he must also navigate the complex feelings he has about his mother, plus deal with his little brother Loomis, a slacker his mom adores. But Ezra hasn’t told the students of APPA that he has a secret agenda beyond just becoming a more compassionate caregiver. It turns out, so does one of his students. Ezra confides the entire tale to his childhood friend Danny as he attempts to sort it all out and stop the spin cycle.
