Mom and her latest man are sitting out on the stoop, a warm May night. There sitting there, each one nursing a quart of cold beer. They have the radio playing a sweet, romantic tune. Mom and her new man are a little tipsy. They decide to start in singing with the radio. Bones waits until the pair starts slurring their words to the song. They’re obviously out of it. Bones is sitting across the street talking to Wawa. “Yo Wawa, I’m going to nail those two fools.” Bones sneaks over, and turns the radio off. Mom and her man go nuts, start screaming and making a big loud fuss. You can hear them all over the street. Bones decides he better not go home that night. He gets Wawa to put him up.

Bobby - I'm glad Bones knows Wawa. Good that he stayed there after Bone's revenge... BC |

Bones has some revenge in his soul. That's what happens when one doesn't get used right. Good work Bobby. Eric |

Vivid, evocative, well-executed. Bobby, you are one of the few writers I know that can pen this down right. We are thankful. |

Thanks Bill, Yes, Wawa has always been a good friend. Where would we be without friends like Wawa. Bobby |

Thanks Eric, Yes, you've hit the nail on the head. That's what revenge is all about. Bones tries not to think too much that way. It bothers him a lot. Bobby |
