    He'll tell you it's because of The Rot.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Part 1: Origin of the Feces

      Given the option again, I probably would have had my nuts crushed.

      Don’t get me wrong. I’m obviously grateful that everythin still jangled as I walked the plank. Starin down into the bubblin hot pit far below, I felt the boys nudge a reminder they were still attached before they scurried inside me for cover. Cowards.

      Now I’m not great with heights at the best of times. Normally I don’t like to admit that. But seein as how the fat lady is clearin her throat, I’m gonna tell a few home truths. Normally I wouldn’t be sayin such things. Especially in my line of work. Sign of weakness. Any clue and they’ll move you to another location. No hesitation whatsoever.

      Bunk beds. Christ. Don’t get me started. Try gettin up and down them when you see dawn breakin on the curtains. ‘Spose, lookin back, I was lucky I didn’t get too many of those gigs. No sirree. Sixteen – no - eighteen years of fairyin! Has it really been that long?

      Give me your straight-up single or doubles. Bungalow if you’re offerin. In and out. No fuss. No mess. Here you go Boss. Seven teeth in one night. Goodnight and God Bless. You couldn’t do that in a week now, even if you had all day and all night. Those were the good ol’ days. But then again, that was before the Rot…
