Synopsis: "'How to Kill an Hour' is the accelerating existential nightmare of a mean spirited obsessive-compulsive utterly lost within the imagined importance of his own rocket propelled commentary on life as it passes by him. The first half of the tale deals with his attempts not to miss the train he is certain he is doomed to miss; the second half with the havoc the hour's wait for the next train wreaks upon him."—Paul L.
