Shadows over Storyville


They say that these things always begin with a woman, but that is just a trope. However in this case, it turned out to be true, just not necessarily in the way that one would expect. You see, the woman’s shadow was waiting for me as I walked through the office door at 6am. Of course, at that time, the shadow was too indistinct for me to be sure of what it might portend, but by lunch time, it had resolved itself into an obviously feminine form. One that would be sitting on the other side of my desk in the second of the two chairs I reserve for clients.
