The Guy with His Hand in the Air

A Short Story about Memory, Regret, and Coming Home

In a near future world where semi trucks mingle with flying taxis on the Truckfinity freeway, a mysterious man named Richard hitches a ride to Ohio.

At first glance, he’s just an average, middle-aged guy in a black t-shirt and clean blue jeans trying to get home. But it’s hard to disregard the aged scars on his knuckles, the woman stalking him in a flier, and the odd questions he asks, like “Is Ohio still there?”

One thing is for sure: Richard is a man out of time–running from his future, yearning for his past.

“The Guy with His Hand in the Air” explores themes of memory, fate, and second chances.

Recommended for readers who loved Emily St. John Mandel’s Sea of Tranquility and Ken Grimwood’s Replay.
