Thaw and Serve

By Jessica Freely

So this is what it had come to. Prone on the floor of a convenience store, his face mashed against the frozen Breast-O-Turkey he had picked up for his solitary holiday repast, Mal Spencer railed against his fate. He did so silently, and without moving a muscle, because a rabid delinquent in a ski mask was pointing a gun at his head. Beside him, his shabby briefcase had burst open on impact with the floor, spilling student term papers all over the dirty linoleum tile.

He didn’t want to die this way, not as an adjunct professor at a community college, not as a lonely, aging intellectual clutching the over-processed remains of a creature nearly as benighted as himself. No. It wasn’t fair. He’d tried so hard, first as a student and then as a professor, but time and time again, he was passed over for promotion by clowns who favored style over substance.
