Short Fiction

Synopsis:
Two friends, Chaz and Henry, come across Ben, an injured university student who has just been mugged. Chaz and Henry offer Ben a lift home that he gratefully accepts. Once in the car, the two friends are more interested in learning about Ben, than hearing his tales of woe. Things take a more serious turn when Chaz begins to interrogate Ben?s motivations for his university course, and soon deepens to question his career choices, and even his personal life. Ill-prepared and vulnerable, Ben flounders under their sporting scrutiny, and Chaz pushes Ben to reconsider these big decisions in his life.
