Humans can walk into a wall and be fine, they do it all the time from what I can tell. We cars on the other hand, don’t take it so well. Every car knows this, whether you’re a 1985 Chevy Impala like me or a brand new 2017 Mustang. The wall doesn’t care, it wrecks every car the same, some are repairable, and some aren’t. That’s all I could think about after smacking into a guard rail at 40 miles per hour. It was raining and, the meat bag that was driving me hit the brakes too fast when she suddenly slowed down to turn onto the highway.

The front end crumpled like a beer can, my headlights shattered, my front axle split in half, and the engine block was destroyed.

Either the humans mutilate you for spare parts, or they ship you off to the junk graveyard, either way cars don’t get happy endings. Eventually the humans bring me up in the conversation, they’re arguing whether to abandon me or not. The driver is worried about the police and what they’ll do but, the passenger mentions money. The next thing I know, they’re walking away from me with my license plates, acting like nothing happened. I sit there as the other cars pass, always slowing down, and the fricking meat bags staring at me. Why doesn’t anyone stop and see if I’m ok? All I can do is sit here and wait, after waiting for 3 hours it’s now dark and, no one can see me. Just as the clock strikes midnight, orange flashing lights appear over the hill, those orange flashing lights are connected to a big rig. My savior has

Jack Baxter's Degree Of Exposure

interactions. An odd factor in the book is when Ken Arnstruther (one of Jack’s comic book characters) stumbles on to Janice’s car and immediately decides to wire it so that he can drive it to town without asking for permission.

Chaucer’s ‘Miller’s Tale’ is Horatian in its nature: charming, witty and light-hearted; with an absence of moral vitriol in the story it closely examines the follies of certain people.
