Brad lived in California and was a lifelong environmentalist. He
was sick of the world; of Covid 19, Brexit, Russian belligerence, global
warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that
occupy media headlines.
Brad drove his car into his garage and then sealed every doorway and
window as best he could. He got back into his car and wound down all the
windows, selected his favorite radio station and started the car.
Two days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window
and saw him in the car. She notified the emergency services and they
broke in, pulling Brad from the car. A little sip of water and,
surprisingly, he was in perfect condition, but his Tesla had a dead
battery.
