Lobster

by Lucas Schmidt

Two bumbling criminals attempt attempt to steal a car, but end up unknowingly causing two different people, a private detective and a ruthless mobster, to chase them in search of a murder they did not commit. Jack Marker, the private detective, tries to find the husband of a trophy wife, and ends up chasing the two criminals while also hallucinating in a drug infused delirium state. The comical and absurd story describes a world in which criminals view those with 'normal' jobs as living a dangerous life, more dangerous than their own criminal underworld.
