Behind the Bowling Alley. 9:00 O'clock
She wants you. *Two short conversations
Thank you to
for her generous spirit and her expertise in helping me improve this story. And thank you to Substack for allowing us to edit our work ad infinitum.So … what’d she say?
Said she wanted to meet me behind the bowling alley around nine.
Dude! So hot! You’re going, right?
I don’t know.
You don’t KNOW? She wants you, man. What else do you need to know?
Dickhead! You’d be crazy to pass up that chance.
I mean ... she’s just kind of weird is all.
So what, man? Go for it.
He’s afraid he can’t handle her.
I could handle her. Just not sure she’s a good match, that’s all.
Match? What match? She probably wants you for a half hour, tops.
Why don’t you go, then?
Damn right, I’ll go. I’m going! Take my chances.
Can I come?
Dude! No! Get a clue!
So… did you see Stymie again last night?
Yeah, about ten, outside the 7-Eleven.
What’d he say? What happened?
Wasn’t talking about it.
Really?
He clammed up.
She scared the shit out of him most likely.
Yeah, maybe.
You've got some very strange people in your head. Good thing you can let them out on the paper.

No fair.... now I want to know what happened. And I agree with Kate... strange people indeed.
