ONE FLEW EAST
by Michael Haeflinger, based on the short story "One Flew East, One Flew West" by Bryan McMillan
It's Tuesday night at Gator's Pub and Grif is back behind the bar for another tour in a losing conflict. He hasn't seen his girlfriend all day. The good old boys are tweaking and his ex has dropped by for a couple of beers. The old man he keeps kicking out keeps coming back. And when "Love Shack" fires up the jukebox, the whole place melts down. "One Flew East" takes a look at the lives of those who always struggle to see beyond the horizon, but never get passed the next round of drinks.
