"A Car Crash of Sorts" by Frank Marcopolos is a short story that delves into themes of existential ennui, regret, and the search for meaning. The narrative uses the car journey and alternate points of view as symbols for life's disquieting journey, with the crash representing a moment of clarity or breakdown. The story captures the melancholy of aging, the fading of youth's drive, and the quiet desperation to find or reclaim purpose in life.
The prose style of Marcopolos is noted for its introspective, somewhat fragmented nature, mirroring the confusion and fragmented memories of the protagonist. The story doesn't resolve in a traditional sense but leaves the reader with a sense of the ongoing struggle to find meaning in a life that might seem to others like a series of unremarkable events or "crashes."
Based on real events, this is a tale woven into the fabric of an every-man's life.
Frank Marcopolos lives in Florida with his dog, Sparky. He was a U.S. paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division during the war.
