DEATH
Present Day . . . Chicago, Illinois
Wisps of smoke dispersed as I manifested into the Pissing Cockroach. The
place was just as low-rent as the name implied, a dingy biker bar with
cigarette-stained pool tables and an unmistakable waif of urine in the air.
Consumed by their cheap beer and full ashtrays, not a single cretin noticed
my otherwise grand entrance.
I flagged down the young but hardened blond bartender with a raised
gloved finger. Heavily applied makeup failed to conceal a nasty purple bruise
swelling up the side of her face.
As Sugar—or so her name tag proclaimed—drew nearer, her anxious eyes
clouded over and desire engulfed her body. Her mouth curved into a sultry
smile as she drank me in.
“Hey there, stranger.” She leaned forward, bracing herself on the worn bar
rail. “What’s your poison?”
“Whiskey, neat,” I answered, indifferent to her advances. My attention was
elsewhere, on the group of angry-looking bikers glaring from the opposite
end of the bar.
“Sexy accent,” she drawled. “Where ya in from?”
“Hell, and it’s better than this place.” I tapped the naked cocktail napkin in
front of me. “I’m in a bit of a hurry.”
“Aren’t you the sweet talker.”
As she turned to make my drink, a rather large biker rose from his stool
and lumbered toward me.
I checked my watch. Five minutes.
“Are you flirting with my girl?” the enormous man bellowed.
“Earl, you think everyone’s flirting with me,” Sugar interjected with a
nervous laugh, sliding my whiskey toward me. “He’s not hurting anyone. Let
him have his drink and be on his way.”
“Stay out of this, Sugar, or you’ll get more of what you got last night,” Big
Earl snarled.
Sugar cowered back a step, subconsciously touching her swollen cheek.
Leather creaked as my fingers curled tight.
“Listen closely, you hooded freak,” snarled Big Earl, invading my personal
space. “The last person who hit on my girl has yet to come out of his coma.”
His breath reeked, as if he’d dined on rotting animal carcass and washed it
down with urine.
“What did you do?” I took a swig of my drink. “Breathe on him?”
A vein pulsed on Earl’s broad forehead. “Who the hell do you think you
are?”
His posse of bikers detached their sorry asses from their seats to surround
my stool.
Taking another pull of my drink, I set the glass down with a clink. “I’m
Death.”
“I bet you’re dumb too.” Big Earl laughed. He leaned in over his giant
stomach, “I SAID, WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE,
FREAK?”
I snatched Big Earl around his throat with one gloved hand. His eyes
bulged and his sausage fingers clutched helplessly at my forearm as my vise
grip tightened.
Rising to my towering height, I lifted Big Earl’s body two feet off the
ground. “I said, I’m Death. Not, deaf, you fucking moron.”
Collective gasps filled the room. I cocked my head to the side, admiring
