Coding and Sleeping

I grabbed a stool and slid it next to Eddie like a wolf dragging its kill back to its den. Eddie took a sideway glace at me and grunted like a monkey, nah more like a warthog. He knew what I wanted.

I noticed that Eddie was nursing a wine cooler instead of his usual Fosters, empty bottles surrounded him like shards of glass around a broken mirror.

"What's with the cooler Eddie? I expected to find you trying to wash away the shattered debris of your life under a tsunami of Fosters(tm)." I asked.

Eddie didn't bother to look up. "Beer's illegal now id'nit mate?"

It was news to me, but I knew better than to act surprised. In my line of work acting surprised is like showing your hand at a poker game playing for kittens. I decided to get right to the point. "I need information."

Eddie took a long swig of his cooler and set it down hard. "Big surprise"

"It's about the weather." I said, getting right to point again.

Eddie looked at me for a minute, then turned back to his cooler. "You don't want to get into that."

"Yeah, and I didn't want to be a private eye working out of a shithole office where I drink two dollar tequila, but I got a job to do."

Eddie stared at the bar in front of him for a minute, then he shook his head before speaking. "Your skin mate. Mayor's the one behind it and he's got the police in his pocket."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I look over at Phred, who's wiping out beer mugs behind the bar, and say "Ya know, it's been pretty boring round these parts lately."

"Yep."

"Not that that's a bad thing."

"Yep."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Motes of dust filter through the air. The sun shines.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

An unearthly howl is heard in the distance. Upstairs the maid screams. A door slams.

Suddenly a shot rings out!

(This twist in the plot will baffle the readers...)

Meanwhile, on a ranch in Montana, a boy was growing up.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

And somewhere on an island in the South Pacific, dark drums began to beat. . .

Suddenly, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon!

Filled with scantily clad maidens, and even more scantily clad lads, accompanied by mermaids and dancing dolphins.
