      It is dark in the whale and hot. The air is difficult to breathe. Ira is coated in gunk, sweating in his black Speedo. The whale’s heartbeat booms and echoes like a giant drum. It’s intimidating. It sounds tribal, ritualistic, as Ira wades through th

      What a shitty place, Perry thought. A perfect end to a shitty week.

      He debated whether to stand within one of the weak pools of trembling industrial light or to hide in the intermediate shadows. The light provided a needed — but false — sense of security. It just put him in an unwelcome spotlight, attracting the attention of occasional pimps and muggers who sauntered by. Besides, the incessant buzz was damned annoying and he needed to hear clearly.

      He patted the chest pocket of his ratty coat before pumping the warmth of his foggy breath onto hands already rendered stiff by the cold. The envelope was still there, of course, and Perry chastised himself for checking yet again.
