Jukebox by the Bar


                 There were dim tubes all in a row, the dimness seeming like a swaying presence to him, small ghosts, a choir of them about to take up some solemn hymn of healing

Three Hail Marys


             I'll bet if i was to go down to the Shrine there and go to confession i'd get three Hail Marys and the priest'd ask me confidentially if i could get him something light he could carry under his coat. People're desperate for guns.
