Pink Sunglasses & Robert Johnson's Dancing Shoes
The days keeps on worryin' me, there's a hellhound on my trail, hellhound on my trail
I am a sinner. The Apostle told me so as he tied me to the post. His name is Virgil Cain, servant of the Lord.
His acolytes: Charlie Mason, dancer, wields the tommygun. Jeremiah Dixon, singer, his fists.
Virgil, The Apostle, plays harmonica, uses the razor.
My middle daughter likes him. Younger daughter won’t talk, older daughter won’t stop screaming. He took her eyes, used the pink sunglasses to mark her shame.
Charlie took his shoes off Robert Johnson's corpse.
The razor tickles my throat.
My sight grows dim.
They're moving on.
They have work to do.

Prosopagnosia Blues
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn’t my own. Lucy saw it too. This was the third day. He was almost me. That was the worst part. We had similarities, overlapping features and mannerisms. He moved when I moved, if I waved at him he waved right back in tandem, but he wasn’t me. Except he also was. He wasn’t my father (I looked like my mom), he wasn’t my brother or cousin (I was an only child and if I had any other relatives I’d never met them), no, he was a me from another world, like I had a twin separated at birth who’d lived an entire different life. Not a nice one either.
