Sometimes, a five-minute trip for a pack of gum is just a five-minute trip.

And sometimes, your husband has ADHD, a three-quarter-ton diesel truck, and absolutely no ability to leave well enough alone.

What starts as a simple errand quickly spirals into a freshly washed truck, a thirty-mile detour for diesel, a sixty-mile round trip for a LaCrux, some unexpected reminiscing, and an entirely unnecessary highway battle.

By the time he finally makes it home, he is exhausted, irritated, and ready to collapse into his recliner.

There’s just one problem.

He forgot the gum.

All Diesel, Halfway Done is a short, irreverent, first-person story about ADHD, distraction, and the spectacular ways a simple errand can go completely off the rails.
