NIGHT TRAIN
As the train pulled into the station, he woke up and he thrust his hand into his pocket. His balls were itching. He wondered how he awoke on a train, of all places. There had been so many different wakening locations ever since the rainy day in the desert when the “sunny day bubble” he saw in the sky had changed his life. Some sort of portal, he thought. A chance to be someone else, somewhere else. He thought about that bubble a lot since he’d seen it, and how he could possibly utilize it.

THE LADY
THE LADY It's been strange these past few years, ever since we moved into this house. The noises I hear at all hours of the day and night. Like the four taps on my bedroom wall that woke me yesterday, and several other times since we've been here. It wasn't my wife. I knew where she was each time. And the dog can't make sounds like knuckles tapping on wall board four times in quick succession.

That Man's Voice
THAT MAN’S VOICE A lot of people have never heard of Batesville these days, but there was a Batesville. Now it's part of Cherry Hill Twp. Batesville started as soon as you went over the little bridge at the bottom of Ellis Street, coming out of Haddonfield, heading south. As soon as you go over the bridge, you have to decide if you take the left or right fork, or, instead, you can run through the front door of that liquor store that's been sitting there since I can remember, as far back as ’62, when we moved to Haddonfield from the Heights. Anyway, that's where Batesville is, just across that little bridge that goes over what turns into the Cooper River. Yep. That little stream under that bridge is the Cooper River, believe it or not.
