Eva Hudson's The Last Ride takes us along for the ride of a cab driver who is having a very bad day due to what he knows he will have to go through the next day.  We're initially not told what that is so I won't give away.  He's been engaging in conversations with self absorbed or opinionated passengers all day just to try and get his mind off of tomorrow.  He hasn't really been successful but he's about to endure an experience, which if it doesn't take his mind off tomorrow nothing else will.The short story gets very, very violent at times, but at no time did the events seem unrealistic.  Terrifying yes, but not unrealistic, you could easily put yourself in Dave Morrison's shoes, and as your reading your thinking, I hope something like this never happens to me.  The ending though isn't completely satisfactory for me though, you can imagine what probably happens but I wouldn't have minded reading it.
