Mr. Murikami

He sits at the same table every time he comes into the Golden Oyster. His white hair looks dull under the fluorescent lights. He orders the same meal and stays for only one hour, never any time more or less. He’s respectful and quiet as he eats his lobster bisque with two pieces of bread. He blows on his spoon to cool down the soup then takes a slow slurp. He breaks a piece of bread to dunk into his soup. He drinks only water but I remember once he ordered a whisky, neat.
