The Wheel of Justice is a game show where contestants compete for the most volts in order to win the legal criminal extermination of a convicted felon. In this instance Granny Emmott from Springfield, NJ and last week’s champion Davor Poborsky from Queens are competing to execute the 23-yr-old cop killer Rainbow Smith. Let the competition begin!

 

This is a darkly humorous sci-fi short. It reminded me of The Running Man. It’s well-written and tickled my odd sense of humor. The commercials between the game were inventive and I almost wish I could call 1-800-DEBAUCH and book a vacation to FantasyIsland. Hey, I said ‘almost.’ It’s a quick read and if you like dark humor, then I recommend you pick it up.
