Why This Must Be Read: First of all, anything by Otter is gonna be good. You'll get plot, characterization, the whole ball of wax. Second, while dark, this short fic stays with you. It hurts, but it hurts so good. Daniel is lost and quietly desperate and over the edge but manages to function, at least well enough to drive a car. And somehow finds his way back home.




Jack said, "You're drunk," and that was the kind of logic that Daniel just couldn't argue with.

"Yeah," Daniel agreed.

There was a sound that might've been a sigh. "Where in Kansas are you, Daniel?"

Daniel squeezed his eyes shut and said, "I don't know. Jack, I don't know."

A recorded voice told him to insert more coins. He hung up instead.
