for anybody keeping score, this masterpiece began in media res

is the homeless man canadian?

nah, he just has a nervous twitch

hysterical, made me think of the Fisher King for some reason.

Kind of struggling for an ending there, were you? Funny stuff, especially the cardboard cowcatcher—very inventive way to get that word into your urban setting.

i did not struggle for an ending. i have seen the future. this is a prophecy.

You are so wonderfully odd, FourSeven. More power to you.

Haha, ouch. Anyway, nice entry, and I liked the “cowcatcher”, “gramophone”, and obviously the “avoirdupois”. Technically, “in medias res” should’ve been…well, in medias res of the ficlet. Nice job anyway.
