A short story by Landon Wake —
Linsey finds herself broken down on a dark and rainy highway. She’d walked out on her career as senior editor to attend her daughter’s first violin solo with the middle school orchestra. Her husband, Jason is already there waiting. When a utility truck pulls up, she thinks herself saved. What she gets instead, is a terrifying and brutal encounter with a man in a yellow suit, who has the power to control her every move. Forced to follow the predetermined destinations on her vehicle’s GPS, the Man in Yellow sets Linsey to preform tasks so horrible it would make even the most twisted person cringe. And perhaps the most terrifying thing of all – He makes her like it.
Buckle up and hold on tight, there’s Murder Next Exit.
