flora decided to cut kenneth a little slack. she had become weary of his folderdol. but decided to give him one more chance. she set a trap for him outside the old hotel. larry was watching from the doorway of the abandoned subway station across the street. it started to rain and larry took the racing form out of his pocket. suddenly he felt hungry, and decided to go down the street and get himself a burger and fries. flora was left alone to wait for kenneth. kenneth, her knight in shining armor from another universe. until he showed his true colors under cover of darkness all he had to do was row his little boat through the deluge. but some people never know when they are well off. or know what hit them. when it finally does. a knight has to polish his armor on a regular basis, or it loses its shine. a curious animal crossed the road. flora did not see it, but larry would have, except for his sudden craving for the burger. but hunger is the basic fact of existence, so what are you going to do? a young man walked up the street toward the old hotel. his tortoise shell glasses had a strange incandescent shine to them. the young man walked steadily through the rain, seemingly unaware of it. some people retain their youthful enthusiasms longer than others. suddenly flora had a harbinger of foreboding. two doors down sam the barber was starting to fall asleep waiting for a customer to show up. sam had had a hard life. sam was descended from a long line of mighty barbarians. who had stormed many a castle in the sky in their glory days. the curious animal wandered down the alley between the hotel and jake’s smoke shop. a man wearing a brown hat approached the hotel, but he was not kenneth. nor was he a mighty barbarian. he walked past sam’s shop, as he was not thinking of getting his hair cut. the rain stopped. but started again three hours later.
