@mutantemuerte 🚬 starter call
the diner has a ‘be back in an hour’ sign taped to the front door. three, two, one. marcus counts backwards in his head. benny’s voice comes to mind, reminding me to talk. i need to look after laura today. laura’s just a child. right. a child with freddy krueger-like blades. marcus juggles the idea of calling benny up; getting the know-how on when, you know, he’ll get back to the diner.
i rest my elbows on the counter. that patsy cline song benny adores plays softly from the jukebox. i don’t dislike it. the song reminds me of him. i peer over at the girl. figure it’s time to chat. “they ever hurt?” i wiggle my fingers. “your knives. fuck, sorry. the claw things.”
