I suspect I'd be one of the weird ones laughing at Alex Reece Abbott's short story "Silver Linings." Okay, maybe not laughing, but smiling inside at the very least.
It tells of a man who's lost his long term job and while looking for new work has decided to make himself a better man, a better husband. But there's a wicked sense of futility lurking underneath the surface that someone with my pessimism can't help but relate to and so, the story to me was like observational comedy from a depressed Seinfeld.
