I Think I Got the T9 Numbers Right

December 7, 1966

Well, he's dead.

I've never understood how people run out of gas. Although, full disclosure, I have run out of gas once in my life and it was because a gas station was slightly further away than I could manage. Is that how it normally happens? You pass a gas station because the next one is 10 miles away but you only have enough gas to take you five or six miles? I wouldn't even be able to walk to get gas because I don't have a gas can in the car. They specifically say not to keep them in your car.

I know that Brutus is using a smartphone here but since he's using his thumbs to type, I am imagining him using T9 to text Gladys. "4555239997777, 444 55566688833 99966688. 7555332777733 333666777444488833 633."

Next up on our Halloween Week is "The Scream", a story I wrote for Liberty #55 (October 2015). New homeowners discover that their house also comes with a disembodied scream.
