The Damage Patrol Quartet: Four Stories
()
About this ebook
Four surreal stories with bizarre underpinnings and uncanny twists. “Roadblock” features a feckless architectural school graduate who falls in with a sixteen-year-old’s dubious trucking venture to the rural south, only to confront mystical construction strikers. In “Randy and Laura,” drug-addled Randy bemoans his fate as a slave employee in New Fascist Australia, working a gas station night-shift with Laura, who longs to escape both his insane delusions and a trauma Randy isn’t equipped to understand. “Perpetual Starlit Night” explores an archeologist’s arrival on a tiny artificial gravity platform in deep space to give a scholarly lecture to barbarian colonists who declare her a criminal like themselves. Finally, “Damage Patrol” describes how the Conscious Reach Corporation proposes to cure an entire city’s mental illness, one tormented soul at a time.
