A Freeway on Earth

Here's another story. It's probably the lightest thing I've written; not a damn thing dark about it, except maybe how utterly sad it is how we are all slaves to our paychecks, yeah? The central character, Frank, is in such a panic to make it to work on time that aspects of an existence outside his job go right by him. Actually, come to think of it, that IS rather dark after all.
But honestly, the story is just meant to be diverting and mildly entertaining. I think. You decide; it's right over there in the usual spot.

  1. Yeah. That's fun. The nonchalance of it all really gives it the right voice. Rock on, kemosabe!

  3. Heath,

    I love this! I love when Frank goes off and beats the alien to death, completely undeterred. I laughed through the whole thing. Great job!
