In exchange for a burger and a chocolate shake, Shan's elderly neighbor, Mr. Parker, lures him away from a day of video games with talk of seeing zombies on television and going to kill them. As they get further from home, Shan becomes more and more concerned that Mr. Parker has gone from amusingly eccentric to crazy...Road Trip is an 8500 word (roughly 34 book pages) humorous, character-driven (in more ways than one!) story with a dash of horror and a side of nostagia for classic cars.
