“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — Chapter 133

The ride home takes just under an hour, the first half of which is a state route bearing due south. One that passes through no towns, during this stretch, yet features isolated little clusters of commerce, at least one instance of just about every famous fast food restaurant a person…

“The Doom Statues” — Chapter 12

Smiling as he climbs aboard his two decades old, powder blue Honda Goldwing motorcycle, Lenny rolls down the short gravel drive, and waits until he’s on the street before firing up the engine. The roommates at this house where he’s been staying — unofficially, though chipping in for food, beer…

“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — Chapter 132

Regarding Edgar’s most pressing task, as it’s now early evening on Tuesday, he’s wrapping up entering all the sales batches for Wednesday, the beginning of their weekly flyer. This is a semi-dry run on the new structure, with the two separate ads for the two groups of stores, though Lorena…

“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — Chapter 130

At Todd’s insistence, Monday will mark the day of Edgar and Ken’s big road trip odyssey. Well, in fact, Todd did not specify a day, only that he wanted Edgar to pick one, for taking this flown in specialist around to check out the other three stores. …

“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — Chapter 129

The question is, though, which scenario is better? This is the thought occupying his mind as he drives to Lorena on Saturday morning. That Todd would latch onto a name already in use out in St. Louis? Or that he was recycling old ideas from a company that had gone…

“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — Chapter 128

“Todd canceled the scales order,” Vicky announces, bursting into the employee break room. “What!?” Edgar halfway shrieks, seated at one of the long tables, behind his laptop, “you’re kidding!” Vicky clearly is not, however, shaking her head for confirmation now as she further explains, “nope.
