As always, so much going on in your short tales. Tales told on three levels. These lines shimmered on the page : "... but the melancholy was dripping off him in waves..." and "... the kind of short choking laugh that darts out in front of anger..." I hope old Coop gets his beer.
I was at the record store the other day searching through the used vinyl when I came across a pretty good copy of the Velvet Underground's Loaded. The vinyl itself looked great, the cover had a little wear but also in good shape, except someone named Cindy wrote her name on the cover in the pink smog rising from the subway entrance. The price said 15$ I took it to the counter and said to the owner " I'll give ya 10 bucks for it" he said " but it's the rare Velvet Underground & Cindy" a joke based on the later collaboration with Nico. I laughed and said "ok the joke was worth 2$ how about 12" He laughed and replied 10 is good.
Thanks. That full immersion is fun as a reader. I think that's why I gravitated toward reading fantasy. I need to be immersed.
Damn straight. Happy Saint Paddy's day.
I'm trying to sit home and absorb luck. Slainte!
Slainte Agasta!
Coop knows business and means business.
I've known a few Coops. They're their own breed
It wasn't enough that Coop roughed him up, he wanted to put the stink breath on him!
I've been that annoyed at people
Fun story! Happy corned beef and cabbage day! Cheers!
Slainte!
Love it. Happy St Paddy’s Day.
Slainte!

Thanks Sharron. He's very likely to get his beer.

Did you think I wouldn't catch the Nico reference? I got it immediately
I figured you would get it and probably most of the people in the comment section but not all.
First time accidentally walking into the men’s room was at the Tipperary. I think I was 14.
I just borrowed the name but I guess the neighborhood sorta works too. Tommy O'Halloran owned the Tip. Such a great dude. True tavernkeeper.
Good luck Petey! Stay dry!
He's gonna be fine.
Proud of Petey. And wishing him luck. Glad he gets recognition.
