Tin-Hearted Man

November 23, 2022 by cpgronlund 2 Comments

The head of an axe resting on a cut stump. Dappled light shines on the scene, illuminating the moss and vegetation below.

Text reads: "Tin-Hearted Man. Written and narrated by: Christopher Gronlund."


When Big Nick Champeau is taken by the Thunder River, his lumber camp speculates what his life might have been like before becoming a lumberjack.

Content Advisory: “Tin-Hearted Man” deals with loss of life, child abuse, alcoholism, physical fighting/violence against others, Korean War combat, facial disfigurement, lost love, loss of a pet, and drug use. But hey — there’s no swearing!
