I just reread my tale and have decided that maybe those characters haven't completed their story. Because of the suggestions and because I wanted to write ano...

Bogart and Bacall It was still dark in the room when Alvin got out of bed. Looking out the window, he saw a magenta glow on the horizon. He went to the bathroom, then pulled on his robe and made his way slowly down the stairs. One step at a time, he thought, ain't that a pisser? He started the coffee maker, although he didn't enjoy his morning cup as much...
