THE CAT'S PRIVATE EYE PART 5: A PARAGRAPH ABOUT A DEAD HAND

JOHNNY ZERO, A FLOATING HEAD IN A SPIRIT CABINET and a private investigator.

I'd just recovered my spirit cabinet at a disco thanks to a redheaded Siamese twin and removed my head from the body I had been apart of for last two days. It felt right being inside my spirit cabinet. Just as I was getting comfortable being a floating head inside my cabinet, I saw Coletta Bare sitting at a table across the room. Now was the time not to let her get the edge on me nor Calvin the hand without a body that was her assistant the brother of Roberte another hand without a body. I summoned all of my spirits and sent them to the table. Coletta was bound by the spirits in a trance levitated in a thought bubble. Just then a knife whizzed by my head and stuck firmly into a post in the disco. A gun shot rang out and I saw Calvin lying on the table bleeding from a wound in the palm below his digits. Smoke from the barrel of a gun held by Roberte.

“Life's a b***h” Roberte said. “Then you die.”

With that statement, I called upon the spirit world to transport Roberte, coletta, and I back to the real world to see Mr. Lim.

This chapter was a bit more abrupt, and I did get a feeling it was a bit less polished. Some run-ons made it a bit difficult to follow. Of course, given the consistent surreality of this piece perhaps that is intentional. In any case, entertaining as always!

Short but still a exquisite piece. I am really taken by your world of imagination.
