Russ:
I called ahead and reserved my usual table. One of the perks of being me. The quiet one I added,I have a song playing in my head, so is you could supply- Yes, thank you. I should be in about 8 then, and I signed off.
I used the transport right after the show. Traveling this way cleans,debugs,showers and decontaminated you , so that by the time you reach your destination you arrive like brand new.
Lynn commented on my leather suit saying she likes the cut of it. I thanked her and she let me lead the way to my table. She checked everything and took my order. One hour please, she nodded. My bottle of Rum ,dark, arrived . I poured myself a drink .

I took my first swallow ,picked up my pen and the music flowed onto the pages , then the words joined it. It had taken only twenty minutes.
I finished what was in my glass and started another. Now I was relaxed. I heard a murmured conversation going on near me and looked around for the source. It came from a table not far away. I took another drink and as I watched her and listened I realized who it must be , my niece Sheridan's friend, Dionne' King , that was her name now. She was playing with a couple of rings . One on a chain around her neck and the other she held in her hand. I sat listening to her talk , and drink. Her bottle was emptying faster than mine. Then she kept asking were she could go, hide. By this time I was beginning to feel apart of the conversation and so I said, you can stay with me.
