I had to choose between a haunted typewriter prompt or a sentient traffic cone prompt for a contest in Boise.

I went with the traffic cone, and my story about a cone named Kevin who hates construction ended up winning me a $50 gift card to a weird local bookstore.

So what's Kevin's deal with construction? Like, does he just want everyone to drive around him forever?

The Kevin Construction Company has been working on that same half-mile stretch for three years now, Julia. I'm starting to think their business model is just causing traffic.
