When Old Men Die
“So after a few passes along the back alleys, I went home and read Look Homeward, Angel and listened to my CDs while Nameless slept in my bed. I was at a dead end unless someone came up with something to help me out, and I couldn't figure out who that someone might be.
I couldn't just forget about Harry, however. I was worried about him and what might happen to him. This was all Dino's fault, and even after pulling out my billfold and counting the money Dino had forced on me, I wasn't hap...py about having taken on the job. If Harry got killed, I was going to feel guilty for a long time, and tomorrow I had to go in and work for Wally Zintner's bail bond service. I didn't think Wally would be sympathetic if I asked for time off to do a job for someone else. And Eugene Gant thought he had problems. I would've traded places with him in a New York minute.
That night I dreamed I was running in a race. It was an unusual race, since it seemed to have no beginning and no end. I ran all night long, and when I woke up, I was as tired as if the race had been real.MoreLess
