The Showgirl, The Capo and The Comic VII

When it came to women, there was just something about Nat Nelson. Sure, he was handsome, but not “through the roof” handsome. In fact, he was pretty soft. His face. His hands. He described himself as hedonistic. What he was, was elegant. Nice face. Nice things. Nice manners. He had lots and lots of girlfriends. […]

The Showgirl, The Capo and The Comic Part VI

Weehawken was an alright town as far as towns go. But it was on the wrong side of the Hudson, so there was that. And since it was on the wrong side of the Hudson, that meant it was in New Jersey, so that was another thing. And Jancie Hansen was a very good looking […]

Lenny, a Serial; Part VI

Lenny had to play his cards just right so that Trish would allow her Civic to be towed. He wanted them to ride back to town together. “You wouldn’t let them tow your precious Ranchero GT,” she said. And she was right. She hardly said a word to him on the four hour trip. The […]

Lenny: A Serial, Part V

The first thing Lenny did was double check the parking lot. Trish’s white Honda Civic was nowhere in site. From there he drove to the exit and cruised through a convenience store parking lot, the one he knew she filled up at. She wasn’t there either. Then he took the interstate to Carrows where, Wendal, […]
