Thinking that he is meeting for a resolution of an on-going legal dispute, Curtis Johnson is lured to a deserted construction site by his neighbor, Tim Grunwald, with whom he's been having a legal dispute involving Curtis's beloved dog. He is confronted by Grunwald who forces him into a Port-O-Potty and leaves him trapped there in the heat of a Florida summer day. With no way to get help, Curtis must figure out how to escape or die.
A gross out story... But this one's a knock out! The set up had already made me uncomfortable with one character spouting hate speech, but once the story fully unfolds, it becomes a suspenseful story that is well crafted underneath all the nasty stuff. Another story that is superbly narrated.
