D Traveler's haircut Done 1.6


The hairs literally stood up on the back of Traveler’s neck. Jennifer was acting odd. One of the customers waiting looked over at him a couple of times. Traveler closed his eyes trying to remember, the camera across the street that used to point to the intersection was pointed directly at the shop.

Facing away from the camera, he said, “Cody, LOOK”, and to no one in particular, “ever feel like you’re being watched?” She jerked.

HNMNBM Party

Wonk said, may I ask your gorgeousness a question, what is with the HNMNBM sticker on your Polaris?   What does HNMNBM mean?  Where do they come from, who is behind it, earnestness bouncing off the walls of the lodge, courtesy of the frenetic young man. So far, all I know is you and Gloria are associated with it and you are both very interesting people. He rolled the "r" in very to accent the word. Yolanda smiled between half closed eyes, shrugged. I was at a party, invitation only, they were sitting on a table; I grabbed one. Nobody there really needed an indoctrination, we were there because we could see our country spiraling down into a strongman government at full tilt; just didn’t have a label for us. The political power in our country was concentrated on a shrinking ruling class that was fully aware dinner was almost over and someone was going to get stuck with the check. The were caught up in the #ME movement, grabbing money fast as possible, bu...

A piece of the action

Guy asked, "Now that you are selling Curvaceous Coffee what will you do with the money? Wanna go on a cruise?" Wonk looked up amused, "I'm working on Key Performance Indicators, (KPIs) for a Micro Hotel. Remember the place we stayed overnight to be ready for razor clamming in Pacific Beach." "Yeah, sort of, Guy replied, the Nautical Inn or some such." "Clipper Inn, Traveler suggested I buy it. He is even willing to front the money, for interest in return of course. I'll run it. In return, I get a share of the profits, if I can pay the loan back, I own the hotel in 7 years. 600k loan, 15% simple interest 7 year payback, (84 payments). The corporation has 1500 shares at a price based on a value of $650 each, ($972,556.44/84). If I can't buy them all back in that time, the value is recomputed for the 85th payment."

Master death file - persona

Proximity alarm, turn right, turn right. Gizmo shoved the stick to the right, added a bit of throttle, up or down he wondered. Wham, something hit the left wing of the plane, losing control, looking for a landing, any landing. There, freshly plowed field. As busy as he was trying to maintain control, Gizmo had the time to cross himself, for some ridiculous reason the pilot's prayer flashed through his stressed mind, "our controller, who art in tower." The Gulf Stream was trashed. Any landing you can walk away from. Gizmo was OK, except for the spots in front of his eyes and the searing pain along his shoulder blades. Damn harness, never did care for them. His go bag was strapped in as always, reached in, pulled out the red case, opened it, put his ID, phone and anything in his pockets inside. Carefully, very carefully, set the incendiary bomb for 30 seconds, laid it on top of his phone, sometimes you gotta go, this is one of them. Too bad, that was a really high quali...
