Grand Opening (A Short Story)

3/5 ( ratings)

This story was originally published in Day One, a weekly literary journal dedicated to short fiction and poetry from emerging writers.Thatch would be the first one to tell you that he isn’t exactly the epitome of success. So when he gets a job managing the newest branch of the Sudsy Buddies chain of car washes, he’s determined to hold on to this midlevel position at all costs. There’s just one problem: the car wash has a tendency to make things disappear. In fact, the first car that enters vanishes in a flash of light, taking its driver, local talk-radio host Leonard Bigley, with it. Thus begins a cascading series of strange supernatural problems that poor Thatch must solve if he wants to save his job, and maybe even his life.Quirky and thought-provoking, Grand Opening is a fast-paced story about a haunted car wash—and one young man’s struggle to make good of a dubious opportunity.
