Killer flies, amorous dinosaurs, angry buildings, and one very large fish --- all in a single volume. THE MAN WHO STANDS IN LINE takes a surreal and humorous view of the usual questions of self, purpose, and society. This quirky collection of flash fiction, vignettes, and poetry is variously absurd, dark, and comic. A monstrous blister, the secret to immortality, and a lost piece of brain are just a few other oddities one will encounter in this one-of-a-kind book.

K.M. Halpern was born in New York and, after spending far too much time there, finally returned to the Cambridge, MA he knew and loved from graduate school. Unfortunately, all that remained was a large Starbucks, several thousand bank branches, and two small universities whose names he forgets. He divides his time between ill-considered technical endeavors and ill-considered literary ones. His current projects include a fourth book of very short works (*The Late Worm*), the second novel in *The Tale of Rin* series, a book of pretentious and largely dystopian short stories (*You May Feel a Small Prick*), and a stage-play about a man whose wife vanishes.K.M. also spends a disturbing amount of time coping with physicsitis, a disease characterized by massive lacunae in one's math knowledge. Oddly enough, for each gap filled three new ones appear. No doubt, this phenomenon easily could be explained through copious hand-waving, a quick and dirty approximation, and a brief, uninformative review of basic math everyone should know but somehow never learned in high school. Unfortunately, K.M. is too busy misunderstanding other areas of math to attend to that.K.M. holds a PhD in theoretical physics from MIT, more commonly known as 'that odd cluster of concrete buildings on the Charles River.'
