A MILLION MORE TO GO by Max Langert

In an undisclosed location deep in the woods, a blindfolded stranger with the codename V arrives to join a group of befuddled yet earnest patriots to count ballots from a recent election. Over the course of several days, a sense of claustrophobia and paranoia takes over as manager T oversees worker bees R and S, just as V begins asking too many questions. All the while, a guy named Chuck stands menacingly on guard in the corner as an ominous contraption known as “The Bloodhound” sits in the middle of the room, hungrily waiting to be fed. Little by little, identities are uncovered, loyalties are tested, and lunch is eventually procured. But will it be too late to make a difference in the election?
