Lunch at the Gotham
Cafe
One day I came home from the brokerage house
where I worked and found a letter -- more of a
note, actually -- from my wife on the dining
room table.
L.T.'s Theory of Pets
My friend L.T. hardly ever talks about how his
wife disappeared, or how she's probably dead,
just another victim of the Axe Man, but he likes
to tell the story of how she walked out on him.
Luckey Quarter
'Oh you cheap son of a bitch!' she cried in the
empty hotel room, more in surprise than anger.
Autopsy Room Four
It's so dark that for awhile -- just how long I
don't know -- I think I'm still unconscious.
Blind Willie
6:15 AM. He wakes to music, always to music; the
shrill beep-beep-beep of the clock-radio's alarm
is too much for his mind to cope with during
those first blurry moments of the day.
The Man in the Black
Suit
I am now a very old man and this is something
which happened to me when I was very young --
only nine years old. |
