Dumber Than Dirt

This story, about a young man who finds a dead body in the car he's stolen, was first published in 2000 in Blue Murder Magazine, which has since disappeared. It was reprinted in Twilight Tales’ BLOOD AND DOUGHNUTS, and most recently in the ONCE UPON A CRIME ANTHOLOGY edited by Gary Bush. An “only in Chicago” story, it’s goofy and noir at the same time.
