My attention was distracted temporarily when my two hounds came bounding into the room. Their muzzles covered with what looked like dried congealed blood.

But on closer inspection it turned out to be scarlet lipstick that they had found in my cosmetic case. I bent down to wipe it off and gasped as I noticed what appeared to be plum coloured eyeshadow daubed around their eyes.
I ran into the bathroom knowing what I would find. |

The garish face resembling the Joker in the Dark Night appeared to be waiting for me. The image was horrifing but I tried to remain composed and I said,"You! What are you doing here?"
Cards in one hand and in the other a pencil. "Psss wanna see a pencil trick?", the fiend asked. I screamed. |

"Oh, c'mon," the Joker-like figure said, "Don't you understand? The dead body was the kicker."

In our disfunctional family of Thieves, Bikers, Magicians and those who live on the fringe of the law everyone feared Cousin Eskiel aka the Jokster in the family. His jokes weren't funny but this psychopath took ultimate pleasure in his pranks. The lunatic often brought corpse to our residences so we'd have to dispose of them.

I put the book down, and stopped reading.

"How many times have I said I'll catch the bees and let them go outside? Nobody has to die. Give me that damm flyswatter!"

I was having trouble grasping reality perhaps due to the medication the doctor had prescribed for my insomnia? Was I really holding a flyswatter or a Sumarai sword that I just swung through the air? Was that really a bee I had been trying to save or a now hapless headless woman with a beehive hairdo?

I decided to flip on the Tube. Maybe relaxing with a nature documentary would clear my head. Caribou, lovely... and Dick Proenneke... what an interesting man...

My relaxation did not last long as I once again heard the buzzing of bees or was it flies? My gaze fell to the floor... staring back at me was the head of the woman with the beehive hairdo. Nah...I'm imagining it...or was I?

Being a professional hairdresser, I had to conclude it was indeed my imagination, as there aren't three people in the world who can accomplish a beehive hairdo these days. And I was one of them. On the other hand, I had often had the urge to strangle a client after spending an hour doing their hair.

My thoughts turned to Mrs. Eliza Rutherford, the old lady with blue hair whose bank account made the Getty and Carnegie fortunes pale in comparison. Just thinking about how that old hag treated me made me hum the ballad of Sweeny Todd written by English composer Sir Malcolm Arnold.

Suddenly a tall, dark, mysterious man, cigarette in hand, descended the staircase...

He looked back over his shoulder to see another tall, dark, mysterious man enter:

Being a professional barber, I couldn't help but notice that he needed a haircut. Mostly on top. But my eyes kept straying to that long, white, unprotected neck. What would it be like to shave that neck? Perhaps too close. Perhaps more. But "more" could put me in the jailhouse. I would survive, though, because my name was Rock, and nobody messes with "Jailhouse Rock"...

From the monies earned in doing beehive hairdos for such clients as the late Amy Winehouse and old hags like Mrs Rutherford I recently purchased, the House of Blues, which I named after my dog. (I know he ain't nothing but a hound dog but I love my ole boy.) However, I risked loosing it all if I succumbed to temptation.

I CAN'T HELP MYSELF and I AIN'T TOO PROUD TO BEG and again I have to ask, WAS IT JUST MY IMAGINATION? You see PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE which may be the reason I was given the name Rock. My brother was named Roll.
