Shrub.com Article for August

August’s article, Tilt, Game 6., is a short story on life, death, and the road in between.

I grabbed my computer and stuffed my trunk full of documents and booze and books and clothes. I opened the mapbook to a random page and pointed to a random destination. There. I drive.

The landlord didn’t much care. I found someone else to take over my lease.

I told my boss I’d be gone for a while. I didn’t tell him exactly how long, though, so it could be forever, right? He probably thinks I’ll be gone a week. Anyway, it was a shit job. Fuck him, that prick.
