THE LOT: The Sum of One’s Parts

They say the road to... ’Ruin’ is paved with good intentions. But for Andrew Karpen, the road is paved in red clay, kerosene, and the lies we tell ourselves to sleep at night. He thinks he’s found a ‘kindly’ old stranger. He thinks he’s catching a ride in a simple tow truck.Poor, deluded Andrew.He isn’t getting into a truck. He’s stepping into a ledger that for a certain Peter LeBlanc hasn’t been in balance in two thousand years... not since the Son of Man wrote a check for the souls of all mankind. Something Peter looks to... ‘rectify.’And the ride Andrew is about to take? Well... it doesn’t end at a repair shop. It ends in the dark, where he will discover that while most can say they are more than the sum of their parts—for him, the parts are expensive. And the currency to ‘buy back’ that which you have given away... is much closer to... ‘the bone.’ This is a public episode.
