After 35 years in the Cook County DMV, Ronald J. Hacket will be reunited with his family this coming weekend. For the last 35 years, he has been awaiting his ticket to be called. Unbeknownst to him, his ticket was actually called ten minutes after he arrived in 1965. However, he missed the call because of a hearing impairment and will be waiting until this coming weekend, when his ticket number will be called again.

Hacket persevered over the years due to a severe fear of his father, who told Hacket he could not return home until he had received his driver’s permit. The fear drove Hacket to fight to stay in the DMV, until eventually no workers paid attention to the golem-like Hacket. Hacket survived off of leftovers from the DMV’s office fridge and coffee machine.

This coming Saturday Hacket will finally hear his ticket called, and take his driver’s permit exam. Due to the fact that he has not learned anything beyond a 10^th grade level he will barely pass.

Upon completing the exam, he will unfortunately realize the full outcome of his wasted time. He will learn that while he waited, both of his parents died, he now has two more brothers, and he is a 51 year old man.
