Be careful what you wish for…
For Evelyn and her three companions, the daily commute to work is a long and exhausting one. It takes its toll on all of them and she longs for a break in the routine, a little excitement to spice up her life. Tasked with driving the treacherous mountain road on a gloomy winter’s morning, Evelyn’s mind begins to wander, and as the fog gets thicker, her thoughts get darker…
A thought-provoking tale of circumstance, camaraderie, and commuting, Riding Shotgun is the second instalment in the surprising and darkly humorous Crossing the Divide short story series, and a prequel to the novel, Taking the Plunge.
Here’s what readers are saying about it:
“Once again the author nails the very difficult art of short story writing with this stygian look at contemporary life with a scenario we can all relate to. It is such an everyday theme but with a completely surprising conclusion that combines humour, sadness and wistfulness. A great little read.”
“A stylish short story, true to life and with vivid characters.”
