Harlan walked across the street to the bank. As the cross walk signal started to blink he looked around at the faces passing by. Some he recognized, others he didn't. He didn't know any of them despite seeing them day after day, week after week. The double doors to the bank swung lightly as he pushed through them, the floor of the bank was empty except for two customers waiting in line at a sole teller. The air smelled thick and buttery from the free popcorn that was handed out every Friday. There was still a few bags remaining on a cart to the side of the teller desk. Harlan picked one up and began to munch while the other customers' transactions were being completed.
Harlan walked up to the counter and sat down his sack of popcorn, the butter had soaked the bottom of the bag and his hands were greasy. he wiped them on his jacket and then pulled a folded check out of his breast pocket. he open it, turned it over, and signed the back of it. "I'd like to deposit all of it except for twenty-five back in cash."
"Do you know your account number sir?"
The teller looked to be in her younger twenties, somewhat pudgy features but not unattractive. her fingers were very skinny and short and her burnt red nail polish matched her lipstick. Her blond hair was pulled back tight into a bun with a loose strand tucked behind her left ear.
"yeah, 27461284."
"and how would you like that?"
"whatever's easiest."
She handed him a five and a twenty. He picked up his popcorn and headed out, it was four seventeen, he had a little over half an hour before he had to meet Phil at The Capons Tail Feather for a drink.




Gordita stepped down off of the bus. She couldn't believe the gall of the uppity bitch that had sat behind her, telling her she needed to get her monkey off the bus because she didn't like it throwing the green m&m's at her. "just plain rude wasn't she Coco? plain rude." The monkey replied "Red flower of love, your tongue is dull, perhaps you should haul your gently cut blouse and your fried blonde hair over to the corner and ask that cheep street harlot to join you for a drink."


Melissa was flossing her teeth with a fortune cookie fortune, she just didn't feel like walking up the stairs to the bathroom to get the dental floss. She had been taking her time, divulging the better part of two hours, applying her makeup while her live-in boyfriend sat in the floor drinking Yeager Meister and surfing the wireless network for information on female audio sculptors. He had come across the European group "Chics on Speed" and downloaded a track for her. The remixed punk sounds made her feel giddy.



Melissa felt ill, the stereo sung the words,
" the research find, as the animal dies,
never did a god damned thing, license to kill....
...clear blue wonder, what do you see,
sun blue horizon, beautiful, clear blue persuasion,
Better get better, to see the light..."

on track bled into another. Sangria was ready for his chinese food and really didn't care one way or another whether the medication for his but worms was mixed into flavorful conglomerate or not.
Tape worms or no he was hungry. Never mind that a starchy bight of potato wasn't going to make Melissa feel any less nauseous, He wanted his food, now. Soy sauce and brown mustard...


There is a curious amenity towards accurate descriptions of scent and flavor in Indian writing, most notably over the last few years in the works of Salman Rushdie, that is distinctly lacking from the literature of other prominent cultures. In other western (American) text is nonexistent. Sure, there may be a reference to the smell of skunk here and the taste of chitlins there, but that's the extent of it. there is no description of the smell of the skunk or the flavor of the chitlins.

The screen door slammed gently in the wind behind Jim as he walked over to the sink. Sure, the water that was in there had been in there since the evening before but it was relatively clean, he had just rinsed a few dishes and boiled a little for his coffee today at lunch, it'd be fine for the task at hand. he took the linen rag in his hand and soaked it well, wrung it out and soaked it again. Kirsee, his sow pig, had received a nasty cut on her front leg from God knew where and it stood a risk of infection. Jim could wipe it clean and maybe bandage it up a little. Parker, a young kid down the street, might be able to steel a little alcohol from his pop to help clean it, if Jim made a decent trade for it.
The thought of sharing Fatback, cracklins, hog maws and chitterlings with his cousins for thanksgiving month after next was not looming pleasantly in his mind. Jim would much rather have a healthy sow sleeping outside his porch.

Ava made a ham sandwich at her grandmothers. The ham had been in the fridge for a little too long. After indulging in the pig and mustard (brown, though it shouldn't have been) on whole-wheat she let loose a powerful liquid in the facility room. The bowl was lined quite evenly in the brown liquid, thick enough to stick to the sides, thin enough to see the porcelain through. She guessed from the weight of her nausea that the crinkle-cut fries were sticking to her gut. God, where were the spare rolls of toilet paper.
The next day the Kool-Aid Man came to visit, and He didn't care to speak of Nebraska at all. Ava needed some pork rinds, and she needed them NOW.
"God damn it! Does anyone in this fucking house have a mother fucking god damn pad without fucking wings?!"


Sangria stepped out of his faux-fur-lined bed, leaving the Necronomicon and Satanic Rituals behind. He stretched, and then pulled his upper body up so his weight was resting heavily on his paws and began to wharf. The hair rose up to his lower esophagus, the phlegm and bile rose to his mouth. cough, wharf, whaa-arrrpppppphhhh, wharf. it came up a little, Sangria felt he was in a little more control. He could swallow it. it would go away. He could swallow it and shit it out later. "whaarfff......" it was back down. He'd shit it out later. No need to spoil the carpet. That would just as foolish as Mother wearing a wing and ruining her pants. Somehow. Sangria felt an overwhelming urge to shit under someone's bed. Cthulu wasn't saving anyone tonight.

Melissa lay on the couch wrapped in a thin white cotton blanket. The room was holding steady at just under 70 degrees. This was below the 76 she preferred. There was a bed up stairs, but that involved walking up the stairs. Sangria scurried under the couch. She scratched on the sheet, trying to lull him out. It was to no avail. Maybe by toying with a rubber band she might lure him out. He could leap on it and maul her hand. Again. But then he could jump and grasp and play with her, just a little back and forth and such. That was all she wanted. Sangria wouldn't come out.
The whole episode wasn't near as troublesome as the dilemma her mother was facing in choosing a new medicine cabinet for the family. Melissa had tried to help in a trip to the large surplus store, but it only resulted in a trip to the floral department, looking at the azaleas, cacti, moth-orchids, succulent jade plants, bromeliads, Spathiphyllum. Lepidodendron, chanterelles, Arbicola, stinkhorns, magnolias, Pothos, and Sansevieria.
