He came out from behind the bar, something he usual...
Sunday: 11:25am: 'Hi Pam. I wandered around the streets after the pubs and clubs closed and managed to get a couple of carrier bags worth of discarded pizza, chips etc from the bins. Thank you so much for your advice.' 1:00pm: 'I couldn't give a rat's ass if you're starving, shit-head. And that's £100 for texting when not replying to me! Just 'cos I'm cont...

Note to reader: This story is a sequel to two previous stories of mine. If you ever wondered what happened to the characters in The Temp and Della's Turn, or why they were the way they were, here's the answer.

One hot summer night, loud and obnoxious car traffic blared outside Jack's bar. A minor collision between two minivans clogged up the street, but Jack paid no attention to the loud horns. He was distracted by a good-looking Cuban woman in the tight black top and a leather skirt, standing on the sidewalk outside his bar. She looked to be in her mid-thirties,...
