one big swallow. I glanced at the timer on my wrist—not yet mid-day. Sure wish I had a client, a hit would break up the monotony of this nothing’s happening day.
“Hey pal,” a gruff, really deep voice said as some being tapped me on the shoulder like exoskeletons can feel, dope. “You’re sitt’n in my seat.”
I took another sip before I turned around and looked way up into these yellow, reptilian eyes. I knew this creep, another assassin, I recognized him from the newsletters, Alberto Saurus. He was supposed to be some really scary predator from the Jurassic nebula. He was big, so what, I’d hit bigger in my time.
“So, what’ca gonna do about it, walnut brain?” I asked and stood off the stool.
Ya know, somedays are full of fun, excitement, and violence, while other days, days like toady, slog along like lumpy gravy.
The darkness descends, sensory input decays away—story over and I’m back in limbo—sure wish I had a drink and somewhere to stick it if I did. Ya know, a day where some jerk’s brain casing doesn’t get busted wide open is a day not worth remembering. I wonder if whoever’s in charge of limbo would let me start making requests. I’d sure like to relive the time I got my claws on Scallopine Rex and his band of bad-ass Barnacle Bedlams. Now that was a fun day.
Or better yet, I wouldn’t mind remembering that spring-wound hottie a time or two more. I’d never had a mech flip my switch before, but something about that model’s serial numbers really got my gears lubricated; just don’t tell my friends, that is if I had any—wait. So far every one of these memories relived has been completely accurate down to the smallest detail, only I don’t have any memory of the mustard eyed #57 and there were three or four details about her I would never forget. So if infinity is really so damned smart, then how come it made a mistake?
Frass. I’m asking questions again.
