Master of None (2010)
“I considered introducing Lark to the technological wonder of WD-40 but decided he’d probably take it the wrong way. We stepped out, and the décor changed from ancient cave to Bat Cave.
The central room of Lark’s subfloor hadn’t changed much since my last visit. Banks of equipment lined the perimeter, projecting a kaleidoscope of indicator lights and screen glow. A row of digital clocks still displayed the current times in every major metropolitan area on earth, and the industrial gray linoleum ...and cool, dry air still reminded me of a morgue.
But the sarcophagus in the glass case hadn’t been there before.
I took a closer look and recognized the unusual piece. It was about three feet tall, as if it’d been made for some obscure midget pharaoh. King Tiny the Terrible. Its angular, blank-eyed, inhuman face sported a traditional Egyptian headdresstrimmed in onyx and gold, and long folded wings crossed its chest in place of arms.
When Lark first showed me a photo of the thing, before we failed to steal it and I crippled him, he’d said it was a falcon and that it contained mummified remains of said bird.MoreLess
