Recruitments
She had auburn hair & bangs and wore the little floral dresses that say free spirited, but her lanyard and her business end said she was only there for coffee & appearances. Her companion was shorter with little glasses & clean poufy upswept hair, terse mouth, and pant suits. They worked for Dangerzone as I liked to call him, the lobbyist who was 400 lbs and a walking widowmaker heart attack. They’d come up the bar for coffee and play their routine. Auburn said “What about her?” And Pouf said with a shake of her head,” No everyone knows everything about her life.” See Auburn was an orphan & well, the thing about Dangerzone is he needed to own you. It’s easy to catch on to these things behind a bar with a fish bowl of the same fish swimming in and out for years.

GRIZZLY TASK
GRIZZLY TASK Written by James Merrick January 9, 2021 In a remote farmhouse and behind the closed door to a child’s bedroom, a metal bed awaits daybreak, mattress removed and iron-strap springs scrubbed free of rust and dirt--an altar ready for its sacrifice.
