Jake Randolph in "The Naked Beat" Pt. 255
Rebecca and I sat there until quite late, listening to the poetry recitals and jazz music. I had a feeling that this Beatnik business was a fad, soon to be replaced by the next big thing, which suited me fine.
I took Rebecca home to her apartment, kissed her goodnight, then headed for home. I wanted to crash for a day or two before opening my new office.
I'd come full circle. I was back to being that which I thought I'd grown tired of. But it was who I was meant to be:
Jake Randolph, Private Investigator.
THE END.

Thanks, Christopher. I really enjoyed the story; it was my pre-breakfast treat! You've nicely set things up for more sleazy tales of Jake Randolph, Private Investigator! Looking forward to them. You deserve a good holiday now!
Thanks again. :-)

Thank you, Drew. I have another idea, but I'm going to think on it for a bit. Get my vacation out of the way and then take another look at it.
I appreciate all the kind words, everyone.

Thank you so much, Jamie. I'm glad to see that it's still being read. And that's indeed a compliment, because that's exactly how I try to write, as if it's almost a screenplay. I play it on a screen in my head as I'm writing. Thanks for putting the time in to read it.
