We Shall Sometime Come to Someplace
An unseasonable storm is just the first in a series of strange and surreal events that will set a salesman's life on a very different course.
EXCERPTThough it was only March, towering cumulus clouds studded the western sky as if it were midsummer. And by the time he found himself on an empty stretch of highway around three o-clock, he had shed his coat, loosened his tie, and rolled down the windows to let the outside in. It was then that the radio went out.Ted twiddled the knobs. He rolled up the window. Rolled it down again. Static. With a frustrated sigh he clicked it off and looked ahead with confusion at the clear eastern sky. He focused on a bridge in the far distance, then a farm, then he glanced into the rearview mirror and felt prickles of panic at the back of his neck.
