SHORT STORY REVIEW Path Lights
by Tom Drury - This story is set in Marin County, across the Golden Gate, to my
north from San Francisco. As a man walks
his dogs, he is nearly missed by a bottle - thrown from the bridge above
him. When he gets home, his wife is almost
over her suffering, she has a migraine.
The protagonist works as a reader for audio books and commercial
voice-overs. A key figure the
protagonist characterizes in his work is a mystery detective. His wife works as an aerospace engineer. The bottle incident prompts our protagonist to
embark on a quest to figure it out, leading him to the conclusion of the
story. The endnote of the story draws a comparison to
the mysteries encountered by either mystery detectives or aerospace
engineers. Follow the link to a movie
version of the short story (http://dlf.tv/2009/pathlights/). Also, The End of
Vandalism is a book written by Tom
Drury.
