Shots were fired.
One right after another.
After another after another.
In rapid fire succession.
The pressure builds and builds.
The past and the present blend together.
Time sometimes stands still. Other times it ebbs and flows. A course is set. A pace is taken. A direction is given. A sort of tension is cast in the present tense. Every little thing takes on some sort of meaning.
Every person plays their part. Because everybody has a song to sing. And a story to tell. And a heart to break.
A tear to shed.
So she sheds hers.
Along with a few other things.
But not too many. So that some things can be left to the imagination. And can remain a mystery. Like a spy mystery. Or a spy story. With a few secret agents. Who remain just that...secret.
Hidden.
In the closet along with some other skeletons. And some other men. Some past lives.

Hacking and hacking away.
Hacking off legs and hacking off arms and hacking off heads and hacking off hands.
Brutal. Just absolutely brutal. Nearly indescribable. Almost beyond description.

It was now controlling her and him.
It now called the shots.
It now was making the action happen.
It had hooked them.
The work had hooked them. They had gotten hooked on the work. They were now on the hook. They were now the fish on the hook.
Tugging against the line.
Giving it a certain tension.
A sort of driving force.
A kind of logic all its own.
Making it go taut.
And then go tight.
Because they did fight and fight.
It and it.
It had hooked them with the hookers.
Hooked them on the hookers.
It had gotten them hooked on those whores.
And on them horses.
It had gotten them hooked on those whores and on them horses and on the cows and the cattle and then beef and the meat and the blood and the slaughtering and butchering and barbequing and eating and drinking and working and resting and relaxing. Hooked on the ranching and the racing and the dancing and the romancing and the riding and the tooling and tooling and tooling and tooling. On the endless tooling. And tooling and tooling and tooling and tooling. Tooling down empty long open roads and tooling in empty ghostly garages late into the night and into the very early morning hours. Pounding and hammering away on some sort of wooden box. Sanding and sawing the wood. Smelling it. Running their hands along the grain of it. Feeling it. Getting to know it. Loving it. Living with it. Learning about it.
Understanding it as best they were able.
They working like craftsmen. She and he working like craftspeople. She and he working. Side by side they working.

A whole lifetime together.
Together through many different stages and scenes and costume changes and places and parties.
Meetings and gatherings.
Shows and showtimes.


Theaters and Bookstores.
Through cafés and airports and big cities and small town, moving and changing with the seasons. With the springs and summers and falls and winters.
Moved like the tides by the moon. And the sun.
By the titles.
By their many different romances and interests, hobbies. Scoutings. And outings. Getting out of the rooms of the houses and of the hotels and on down the open roads. Getting outside. Getting out. And then staying out.
Staying away.
Staying lost.
Staying up.
Staying on a roll.
They staying together.
Sticking together.
Like glue.
They seeing some of the big bad world.
They seeing some of it and then only wanting more and more of it. The more they saw the more that they wanted to see.
And mostly the more they tasted it the more that they liked it.
It had gotten them hooked.
It hooked them.
It caught them.
It now had them in its grasp.
It be reeling them in and they be resisting the reeling.
They be reeling against the reeling.
They be fighting it.
Struggling sweetly and torturously against. Feeling like they had to let it go, at least for the time being, and yet being able to let go. Feeling like getting a little bit of distance from the beast before it them completely all wrapped up in knots.
All tight and not loose the way that they preferred to be.
It hooking them.
It hooking them.
It hooking them.
It hooking them.
It getting them.
It getting through to her and him.
It getting a hold of them.

On some sort of psychic spiritual artistic non-physical telephone. This telephone with no visible wires. Working like a wireless network. It calling them on cellular sort of telephone only there were no physical telephones no physical receivers or transmitters. It just sort of in the air...all swirling around. Thoughts and words and feelings and times and places and memories and dreams all swirling around them and their heads. Swirling and swirling.
Twirling and twirling like on a big ballroom dance floor. Twinkling and sparkling and shining and moving with rainbow colors flashing.
It calling them.
It calling to them.
It speaking to them.
It speaking to their hearts.
It getting inside of them.
It infiltrating their bodies.
Filtering down into their bones from time to time.
It infecting them like a computer virus.
Like some delicious yet slightly malicious bug.
Some itch that keep wanting to be scratched.
It getting to them.
It getting in them.
It getting into their most private accounts.
It getting into their bones.
And like a cancer into their blood.
Those huesos and that sangre.
It moving them yet not moving them.
It moving them emotionally and romantically yet no physically. Not yet anyhow. This energy building and building inside of them.

Streaming in loud and streaming in clear.
Streaming in.
Streaming in in streamlined fashion.
In fast fashion.
Streaming in still.
Still streaming in.
Always still...streaming in.
Streaming in was the best.
It was the fastest way.
It was what cut right directly to the chase to the heart of the matter to the meat of the matter. To the source of the story.
It like a shorthand of some sort.
A fast language.
A language that had to be spoken at a certain fast speed in order to fully be understood.
Instant language.
Instant communication.
Fast.
Streaming and streaming.
Constantly streaming in.
Constantly streaming.
And streaming.
And streaming.
And streaming.
And steaming.
And moving.
And streaming.
And streaming and streaming.

Spying and eyeballing and estimating and playing it by ear and by feel and live and unplugged and natural and seasoned and schooled and trained and honed and crafted and polished and yet still rough and raw and ready. The same old tired tune ever always new every time it was played and heard and seen and read and viewed and experienced.

In defense of itself.
Attacking in defense.
Attacking because it was being attacked.
And so it attacking back.
Striking back.
Starting an all out war.
Starting a fight.
Picking a fight.
The snake writhing in pain and its rattle going off like a loud alarm clock. Like a banshee wailing away nonstop. Like a chimera in heat. Like a monster. Like some ragged old madman.
The rattle going off and going off and going off. It going off like a man gone off his rocker and lost all of his marbles lost his mind lost all and any sense of normal behavior.
Some dark dark unforgiving place of a dungeon. Cold and dank and damp and inhospitable.
Some vast lost civilization.
Some lost world.
Some unknown place.
Some ghost of a civilization.
The ruins of an ancient once great Greek civilization.
The dying decaying ruins. Crumbling and caving in and falling over temples and monuments. Similar to some western U.S. old ghost town.
Like a fog enveloping a landscape. Obscuring it and then the fog clearing away for a few moments and then coming back again. Doing this in irregular unpredictable intervals.
Following some unknown logic some unknown pattern.
Some ill-conceived formula. All wrong from the get-go.
Having seemed all right. Brilliant perhaps even. Very clever. Quite clever. Most imaginative.
Yet in the final analysis false and deceitful and conning and empty and hollow and shallow and cruel. So cruel.
So cold and cold-hearted.
Sick.
Twisted.
Radical.
Off the charts. Not off the top of the charts but rather instead off the bottom of them.
Off the grid.
Off the mainline.
Off the freeway.
Off the map.
Some secret blackhole backhole backwoods hole-in-the-wall place hidden from any sort of radar near the Bermuda Triangle.
