4: DAY 4: Duncan’s Story Word Count: 2,085
A
lawyer is on his way home after visiting with a client whose engaged in a
dispute with local authorities in regards to his property. He spots a bar at
the intersection and decides to cool off some of the day’s heat.
He’s
not in there fifteen minutes and this drunk called Duncan tramps in and makes
his acquaintance confusing him for his friend Dick. (Later, on his way out, the
lawyer discovers he bears some semblance to Dick.)
Duncan’s
been up to no good and reveals this to the lawyer who he believes is his friend
Dick. He peed on a vehicle parked at the extreme right of the joint’s parking
lot. The vehicle in question happens to be the lawyer’s whose real name is Sam.
But
wait, the story is far from over.
Sam
plays along pretending he’s indeed Dick and all the while hoping the drunk
called Duncan would confess to a crime that attracts tougher penalty than peeing
on a private vehicle would.
No
truth serum beats alcohol. Ask at your local joint.
And
Duncan tells Sam… ah… read the damn story for yourself.
Keep
your pen bleeding.
