    Those damn super bright headlights that are basically high beams as standard lights. What the hell is the point? Most of the time, people are not driving where they need lights that penetrate the darkness for 50 miles. If they are, use the high beams. I'm tired of being blinded by people who drive in areas well lit by street lights. I want to meet the car designer who thought that was a good idea and punch them in a highly sensitive area for their respective gender.

    Like people in Jeeps. They take oh so much pride in telling people that’s just the way jeeps are designed. Can’t tell you how many times in high school or college I was driving with people in jeeps and they’d get in road tifs with people about the lights that come off like high beams. Jeep owners are usually dicks

    Of the short story? Not sure it’s worthwhile. I mean, short of posting the whole thing — which I won’t because it’s out to other outlets and would thus make it ineligible to be accepted — how can ya appropriately summarize a short story? Think of your favorite one and try to do that.

    I mean, the one-line pitch for the story.

    I like stories about midgets. They’re usually short.

    It's not the lumens but the blueness of them that seems to bother me most.

    This. It just pierces like the traditional yellow doesn't.

    It was a completed short story, not a story pitch.
