Out Of Service

Karl Patterson is having a terrible week. His job is on the chopping block, his landlord wants him out, and the rain won't stop. Just when things couldn't get worse, a strange encounter at a bus stop sends his world spiraling into something surreal.

Out of Service is a gritty psychological short story that explores isolation, invisibility, and the quiet desperation hiding in plain sight. As Karl struggles to hold his life together, he crosses paths with Jeremy Fitch—a man who's spent years being ignored, and who's no longer willing to be unseen.

When the system breaks you down, sometimes what's left behind is something no one notices… until it's too late.
