Excerpt from Wordeater, Vol. 28 The place really wasn't too bad. It wasn't exactly cheerful, but then again, it didn't have those horrible burgundy velvet draperies with gold tassled tie backs, either. The mortie ian was young, friendly, and the money was definitely worth it. I took the job. Now I'm sort of a celebrity back home. I made it good in the big city. I have a decent apartment, (i bought some Raid and it works wonders) I shop at Macy's once in a while, and I even jog in Central park when it's daylight saving time. But the best thing is, the work is steady. My customers never cancel. I'm even so busy that there are days when I have to shelf someone.(that's mortuary slang for putting someone on hold) No regrets, none. \i just wish I knew someone who could use a case and a half of disco glitter.
