The Minotaur Takes A Cigarette Break by Steven Sherrill

In a world where myth meets modernity, a weary Minotaur, known simply as M, navigates the mundane challenges of life in a small Southern town. Working as a line cook at a roadside diner, M grapples with his ancient identity while seeking connection and acceptance in a society that views him as an oddity. As he forms tentative relationships with his coworkers and the locals, M's journey becomes a poignant exploration of loneliness, identity, and the universal quest for belonging in a world that often feels alien.
