Title: A Terrible Ghastly Silence
Rating: PG
Length: 2000 words
Fandom: RPF - National Public Radio / Bill & Ted / Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Recipient:
evilhippo, for
yuletide 2010
Prompt: "I have had, for ages, a secret desire for alternate-universe NPR. I love the idea of it as a lens for examining other fictional worlds. So, if you please, I'd love some fic about NPR as it exists in other fictional worlds, or our universe's lovely NPR crossed over into other worlds."
A/N: What can I even say about this? Never in a million billion years would I have thought there was a "This American Life" story in my head, let alone one that existed in two fictional universes simultaneously. The title and Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz's lines are straight out of Douglas Adams. Thanks to
emptybackpack for being an incredibly fast, patient beta, and for her infectious enthusiasm!

( Americans imbue the road trip with every kind of mythological symbolism we can find: the hero's quest; the revenge journey; the voyage of self-discovery; the long-awaited, if not triumphant, return. )
