Is this cosmic horror?
Only to the dad.
Fair. But you seeing your dad in a line forever would be pretty weird. Maybe not indescribable or non-euclidean though.
Reminds me of the Kingston Trio song *M.T.A.* about a dude stuck on the Boston subway forever because they raised the fare from 5 to 10 cents and he couldn't afford to get off. His wife handed him a sandwich every day through the window so he wouldn't starve to death. As a kid I was like "bitch, why not put a fucking dime in the sandwich?"
I love that song. I always assumed she couldn’t get a dime because the breadwinner was now trapped on the MTA.
I shudder to think what happened to them when the sandwiches finally ran out.
According to google, a sandwich in 1949 (when the original song was written) cost 4 cents. Three days trapped on a subway and you've already made a colossal financial mistake.
Yeah, but they (presumably) already paid for the bread. The issue is that the worker in the family is on the MTA.
