Editor's Note:
When I wrote this I had less of a sense of "professional vs. amateur" than I've developed more consciously since. But who's to say?The resentment was still there.In any event, this story is an effort to follow around a guy who uses a "hard-boiled" sort of voice, à la Jim Knipfel's novel The Buzzing or Jonathan Lethem's Gun, with Occasional Music — albeit one who has different "priorities" (kind of like "market prophet" Cayce Pollard, in Wm. Gibson's Pattern Recognition).

Indulge in the ultimate literary experience. We've refined the way you discover and access Acoustic Karaoke—Card 16: The Tower by Smiley McGrouchpants Jr. Esq. III. Crafted for the discerning reader.

Experience across all your premium devices with our high-fidelity digital format. Featuring cinematic typography, fluid layouts, and flawless rendering for an unparalleled reading session.
