Shifting POV works effectively in the short story format and is executed well.

The beginning starts out with a blind date and what ensues inside the car is almost worse than the nuclear bomb!
I am still chuckling!!
Character and plot driven, Mort delivers an apocolyptic, horrific, and comical tale of humans thrown into chaotic situations.
Accidents happening, bullets flying, and a fight for survival.
One heck of a surprise plot twist that shocked me and actually caused a jaw drop!
The ending was also a big surprise, bleak and a bit terrifying! Shivers!
"Your life, from now on, is like all the sand and tears a monkey can buy. It means nothing."
All accept for the happy little camper that snagged all the Twinkies....he's so happy one would think he found a bucket of gold.
Lots of action from start to finish, bits of humor, and it all comes together and shows that the unique title makes total sense.
Bravo!!
