A Calm Quiet Place To Self Destruct

by Joshua Turek

The Falls family is on a summer road trip through unusually active Nevada desert in the year 2020. Following the narrow victory of WWIII, they, like the rest of the country are abuzz over the first nuclear test on American soil in twenty-eight years. Under hot baking sun and planetary nights, from behind the wheel of their white minivan, husband, wife, and teenage son navigate sparse terrain, reality television stars, one megalomaniacal President of the United States, and their own pending dissolution to find a nice calm quiet place to watch the world explode.
