Carpool

Steve's story takes place in 1999.

Back in '99, everyone was moving on from the psychic high times to a time when computers were threatening to destroy the economy in a Y2K scare. But it wasn’t quite the time when everyone had a cellphone in their pocket yet, either.

Ninety-nine was an in between time. A time when highway driving relied more heavily on faith than on phones.

Mike and Steve get a little bored while driving home on Halloween after their shift at a fast-food joint. The vehicle that they decide to joke around with has no idea how to play games.

As a matter of fact, the driver hasn't taken a breath in a very long time.
