    The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved

    About this ebook

    For Sam, working at the Future Shoppe is a study in absurdity. Every week, he receives a directive from home office, a new product display, store layout, or signage style. And in the middle of every week, the orders are countermanded, often only hours after they have been completed. One week, the set of contradictory directions never comes.

    Something is rotten in Coeur d'Alene, the nerve center of the Future Shoppe. And so Sam, Rosa, and Isaiah are roped into a mission to find out what, or at least steal some office supplies. Each of them is looking for something different: Rosa is expecting zombies, Isaiah just wants to see an old friend who lives there and Sam wants some sauce for his Guinig Meat Snack. But what they will find is stranger than they could have ever imagined.

      Sam's head hurt. The cause of the pain became clear a moment later when the side of his head impacted with hard plastic, probably not for the first or even second time, judging by the pain. He tried to move but found he was strapped in place and it was too bright to make out anything. After some panicked fumbling, his fingers found a button which released one of the straps holding him in place. He was in a car. After a couple more tries he managed to sit up. When his eyes adjusted, he could see Isaiah's carefully trimmed afro poking out over the driver's seat head rest and the back of Rosa's dove-and-flame-thrower tattooed arm resting on the center console.

      You're up, Isaiah said from the driver's seat.

      Yeah, Sam said. What is it this time? Ice cream? Movie set? He looked out the window, trying to guess the time by the sun's position in the sky. Then he checked his watch. It was 2:13 in the afternoon, which meant that they were at least a couple hundred miles away from home if the pattern held.

      If you weren't such a deep sleeper you wouldn't always get conscripted for these things, Rosa said
