"A short story about Valentine's Day, young love, and executing the mentally handicapped."
In this sadistic comedy about capital punishment and being in love for the first time, a postman with a thousand mental defects faces death in the electric chair over a murder he committed to win the heart of his therapist. As preparations are made for his execution on Valentine's Day, he recalls the events two years prior when his true love betrayed him and he was locked away in the "people zoo."
The Happy Seat is the antithesis of conventional romantic comedy, a bitter and cynical satire full of anger, sorrow, and loss.
This 6,000 word short story includes a free preview for the novel One-Night Stan's, also by Greg Sisco.
