Pimm’s Body Shop
Genesis 2: 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The sun had set by the time I stepped out of the driving rain into the dingy poorly lit shop on NW 2nd Avenue in Old Town. With trembling fingers, cramped by cold, I pulled the card from my jacket pocket the warden handed me before I left state prison to confirm this was the correct address. My eyes moved over the plain white card, Pimm's, NW 2nd in navy blue lettering. This was the place all right. I shoved the damp card back in my jacket pocket.
Released only two days ago I was intent on my reintegration into society by seeking gainful employment. At least that's what it said in the pamphlet Warden Glen handed me during my release processing. He'd added, See you soon, Bicks.
