    A Message From Our Sponsor by Henry Slesar - The foot-in-the-door technique would work perfectly for any salesman—if he had an invisible foot! 
    "And that was Smoky Donahue's Western Swingsters, playing Red Dust for all you Martian fans out there. Now let's take a look at the new recordings, hot off the presses this week from all over the system. Looks like we have a real treat for you tonight, folks! There's a brand-new label from way out in outer space. Yes, sir, the very first record put on wax by the Martian Recording Company, and it ought to be a lulu. We'll spin it for you in just a minute, but first, here's a message from our sponsor, the Oxygen Corporation of America—Earth's oldest and finest manufacturers of compressed oxygen equipment. 
    "Friends, when you're scooting around in your little rocket roadster, do you ever stop to think that your fine vehicle deserves nothing but the best in equipment and accessories? Well, next time, take a look at your oxygen tanks. Are you still using the cumbersome, old, outmoded tank, with ugly valves and low capacity? Wouldn't you rather have the new, streamlined Oxco tank that gives you months of service without refilling? Models cost as low as four thousand dollars, and they're guaranteed up to a full year. Call your local rocket supply store today, and get all the facts. When you see the new Oxco, you'll know why we say ... Oxco never leaves you breathless! 
    "Well, I see Jonesy, our control board operator, waving at me like mad, folks. He wants to hear this new disc from Mars, too. So—without further ado—here we go. It's on the Canal label, and it's called ... Melancholy!" 
    The boss slammed the file drawer shut in disgust. 
    The Martian, standing before his desk, shuffled his feet and rotated his cap with his third hand. "Displeasing you?" he said. "Come back other time do?"

    Content Info: This story contains depictions of gore and self-inflicted harm. 
    The apocalypse is here, and I'm snug in my apartment with cookie dough and despair. The internet and television are dead and I'm stuck in a wheelchair while the world falls apart outside. I'm alone, I'm tired, and I'm calm. Time for a final meal. 
    Wheelchair Seating for the Apocalypse is a story for all those who are tired of seeing the creepy kids, strong dudes and hot chicks populate every horror story. It is for the un-well human who is tired of being perceived as selfless and endlessly chipper because of their condition, as though we exist as an inspiration to others. 
    Sometimes it's empowering to choose not to fight.
