SCREEEEeeeeeECH!!!, my tires squeal to a stop with what I hope is that cool reverse looking strobe effect you get on movies. “Holy shit! I gotta let you go there’s a clown outside,” I yell into the smog lit sky hoping enough of it would somehow bend around my face to terminate the conversation taking place inside that space age earwig The Man makes me wear whilst driving. It falls to the floor.
