The Eternal Night #288

by

The next few months passed pretty uneventfully. I spent the time running the Existential Cafe, except when Harrigan and I would go on fishing trips, which was usually every month. And at least once a week I'd be at the studio watching them film the Derek Slade movie. It was cool seeing behind-the-scenes of a movie production.

The three little punks that had been stealing liquor out of my stockroom showed up every week as I'd instructed them, each with a dollar, until they had the estimated $40 paid back.

Setting them straight was worth losing Roxie over...

    Nope. And that wasn't planned. He was supposed to kiss Roxie and walk out of the movie at the end, but the narrative had other ideas.

    These narratives do seem to have ideas of their own... makes it easy to be creative without having get out of bed.
