he looked at the clock almost 9PM felt like hed been awake foreverhe woke at 10

nearly 3
WIRED though
when he got that way he knew he had to feed the creep feed it despite knowing it was insatiable
it craved his destitution annihilation it didnt want to acknowledge him it wanted to ride the coattailsthe slipstream of
something akin to the 60s fantasy Mission: Impossible disavow any knowledge of you or your team
should you be captured or killed
which
always twisted himmade him pause disgusted him why the fuck would anyone wanna work for an organisation that wouldnt recognise
his or his teams value to it wouldnt recognise
they existed
though as he said it was fantasy
but fantasy doesnt rap at your
door
Hiya. I'm Mariah. I have it on authority
I’m your daughter.
Authority
from where did that authority descend hed been a sperm donor inside a clinic and out
a vial of sperm or an ejaculate didnt
make anyone a father
Hiya!
an old girlfriend reaches out an old roommate connects saying hes been
looking him for years Crazy, man, given these times that you've been able
to fly under the radar for so long.
apparently not low enough
his old girlfriend was appreciated
old roommate could ID him as a party associated with three yahthree he remembered
three criminal adventures in Miami
maybe he should have shotgunned him in the Everglades but it was birdshot 20gauge he still had a few pellets in his calf three worked themselves out like
deep slivers incurred working construction it was really nice when they expressed pushed themselves up out of his fleshnice to lose their irritation
then another rap at the door a detective a dick digging into a cold case they were working a new angle
that body hadnt any
angles left call it mulch all these
years later
novel coronavirus presented too
many people with too much time on their hands
they were defying the natural order
of things
and he wasnt having any part of it
he sent Babygirl packing he wasnt submitting to a DNA test You can blow me he wouldnt have minded she seemed mildly interested that freakness could easily have been him
the old girlfriend a pleasant surprise
the college roommate
he deflected and
differed Nah Cant say I remember it worked for politicians
the fresh young dick hed have to make his name elsewhere
I can tell ya he was a prick I
can tell ya I wanted him to catch his I
can tell ya I havent missed his sorry ass a bit I
can tell ya if he met his end I hope it
was administered cruelly
But thats all I can tell ya
his past for whatever reasons presented
itself in people he willingly let go of left behind
he didnt think he was
particularly interesting
they seemed to think otherwise
