'Fork' is a story about a man and his conflict with a dictatorial narrator who controls every aspect of his life. Every day while walking home from work, Albi passes a fork in the road.

Enter Effie: the new girl in the office, she catches Albi's eye and the Narrator begins to feel threatened by her presence. He crushes Albi's confidence at every turn. Rapidly losing faith in the voice that he has been beholden to his entire life, he begins to ponder the appeal of breaking free...and the temptation of the right fork.
