"C'mon Rook" I said to the newest recruit.

  • "C'mon Rook" I said to the newest recruit. He looked shellshocked and pale but followed me into the darkened warehouse. An overhead light swung ominously back and forth. I felt
  • felt felt. I never felt a piece of felt which felt as fine as that felt felt, When first I felt that felt hat's felt. While I marveled at the soft furry thing a bullet ripped
  • through my felt hat and lodged in my skull. I felt the blood oozing out of the hole & plugged it with my finger. It looked like I was doing a party trick with the hat. I felt silly
  • what with blood pouring out of my head and all. This was a pretty good excuse to miss Ayala's Bat Mitzvah. Growing up primarily with Jewish kids, this would be about the millionth

  • in letters as uniform as cuneiform, in a slew of colours as gay as Pittsburg was inked: Get your Tattoos at The Inky-Dink-a Doo. I was a walking billboard, but I didn't find out
  • everything I was advertising till later that night when I took off my sandwich board and saw the almost subliminal advertisement for a particularly disgusting sexual act.
