Chapter Seven







Nothing compares to the bitter Joe served down at the Phoenix.

It's a transcendental experience.

A meditation.

Time,

stops.

I sip slowly.

The aromatic curls of vapor waft through my nostrils.

Like so many fingers, tracing the lines of my haggard, sleep-deprived face.

Sip.

Pause.

Sip.

Pause.

Sip.

Pause.

There is great solace in this ritual.

That is,

until she showed up...
