<\/a> <\/div>\n\tThe day is too hot, and the road is too boring. It\u2019s sucking Foster\u2019s soul dry, but that would mean he had a soul. But he doesn\u2019t, since he threw it in God\u2019s face so many years ago on a day he doesn\u2019t want to remember. <\/p>\n
\tSo he stays on a road that depletes whatever zombie shell that\u2019s left over from his long ago grand holy gesture. The road may lead to certain death at day\u2019s end, or worse. But he doesn\u2019t care. He tells himself this all the time, every day knowing that death or worse awaits him, that he might kill or be killed on this path he\u2019s chosen. <\/p>\n
\tBut he never leaves the road. He would rather be dead than remember. He\u2019s dead, anyway. Because would God ever want him back, when Foster threw his soul in the Almighty\u2019s face all those years ago? <\/p>\n
\tSo starts the premise of Mile Marker 327, on another day that alternates between complete tedium coupled with the undercurrent of violence awaiting the man who calls himself Foster. It\u2019s another day that\u2019s too hot for the calendar to agree, and another violent client awaits Foster at the end of the highway he travels. God forgot about him long ago. He knows that, because there\u2019s nowhere for him to go without the soul he discarded, and isn\u2019t sure if he wants back. <\/p>\n
\tWithout his soul, this is the path Foster\u2019s condemned to, with no end in sight except for perhaps the mercy of a bullet or some other tragedy. <\/p>\n
