• Summary

  • Welcome to Way Out, a roadside diner with an imaginative waiter working tonight's shift. He's bored—as anyone would be during a slow overnight slog—so he begins imagining backstories for the sleepy patrons around him. The catch? He's a horror buff, so these stories aren't exactly sweet. For more of the project, visit the Way Out companion site (samthomaswrites.com/wayout) for an introductory message plus essays that accompany each episode, giving a deeper dive into the story's topic.
