Cleanup on Aisle Squatch
by Jerry Boyd
Jerry Boyd takes the mundane frustration of retail work and collides it with the absurdity of cryptozoology. The story follows a protagonist who is just trying to get through a shift, only to find that the local wildlife is significantly more complicated than a spilled drink or a broken pallet. The pacing is snappy and relentless, moving from dry office-style humor to high-stakes monster encounters without missing a beat. It feels like a late-night shift where the coffee has run out and the laws of physics have decided to take a break. If you enjoy stories where regular people are forced to deal with the supernatural as if it were just another annoying task on a to-do list, this will be right up your alley. It is perfect for anyone who wants a lighthearted, witty escape that treats legends like Bigfoot as a nuisance rather than a majestic mystery.
