Lee Hacklyn, Private Investigator in Lightweight, Heavyweight, Deadweight - John Leister
QUEENS, NEW YORK CITY, 1976.
CHAPTER ONE
Another day. Another towering inferno.
But perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself, Dear Reader.
Woke up. Got out of bed. Took a comb upon my head.
To be or not to be a Beatle.
It just wasn’t in the cards for poor Pete Best.
I wonder what he thinks about all day.
Missed it by that much, as Agent 86 might say.
5 am.
I was more hung over than Wilt Chamberlain, or so I’d read in a Penthouse interview.
Yeah, I’m one of those freaks who pays as much attention to the words as the pictures.
Oh, Dad!
You actually slept with Mom, with a pile of those things under your bed?
How could you do that?
No wonder she divorced you.
I lit a Blue Buzzard and looked out my Queens one-bedroom apartment window.
It wasn’t just raining cats and dogs, it was raining their fleas and eliminations, too.
This wasn’t a garden-variety New York rainstorm.
This was an apocalyptic deluge.
My father was a carpenter.
He could’ve built an ark with his bare hands, just like Noah.
You’ll never amount to anything, Leland. You’re unskilled and your report card is a symphony of Fs. I saw a commercial the other day for the French Foreign Legion. They said they’ll take anybody. You immediately, no pun intended, sprung to mind.
My old man was a great carpenter, but he was a lousy child psychologist.
There was a flash of lightning and I dropped my snap-relaxant/cancer stick.
Talk about opposite ends of pleasure and agony.
The business end landed on my barefoot.
Ouch.
I picked up the butt, tossed it in my toilet and began my breakfast, the world-famous Hacklyn omlette, three eggs, some chopped up green peppers, onions and garlic cloves.
Mmm...so
Enjoying the preview?
