GMO

by Joe Nelms

GMO is the poignant, insightful tale of beaten down, mid-level food scientist Gordon Miller Osborne. Depressed by his life and abused by his boss, Gordon contemplates suicide, but decides against it at the last minute, only to become involved in a work related accident that could end his career. When Gordon's overbearing boss finds out about the accident and the superpowers it created in Gordon, he insists on following the strict corporate protocol of the mammoth food company they both work for. After all, those powers were created on company time, they belong to the company. Can things get any worse for Gordon? You'd be surprised.


GMO is a short story.
