Brian lives in San Luis Obispo, California. He was sick of the world, sick of COVID, Trump, the "My Pillow" guy, Russia, China, global warming, street crime, fentanyl, illegal immigrants, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy media headlines.
Brian drove his car into his garage and then sealed every doorway and window, as best he could. He got back into his car, wound down all the windows, selected his favorite radio station, started the car and revved it to a slow idle.
Five days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window and saw him in the car. She notified the emergency services and they broke in, pulling Brian from the car. A little sip of water and, surprisingly, he was in perfect condition, but his Tesla had a dead battery.
Brian is a registered Democrat.
