http://www.votemayor.com/?p=356Elected Command: Cry.Try as he might, the unkempt child of unknown years succumbs to the visceral pain and confusion that now overwhelm his remaining senses.
Titus begins to cry.
Tears flood freely from his bulbous eye, thick mucus congesting his already troubled airways. Murmuring, the saline fluids flow, further obscuring the remainder of his already compromised vision.
Before sputtering out utterances of mercy, he faintly hears the pleading shouts of a familiar Mafioso in the alley’s distance.
Huffing, the worse for wear Sammy clamors onto the scene. Practically falling to his scuffed knees in justifiable exhaustion, he hovers over the now unconscious gamin.
“Ah, Sammy, how favorably fortunate. Your impoverished and inadequate organs managed to withstand those flickering flames.” quips The Mayor.
The young man examines Titus’s faint pulse, beads of sweat covering his own forehead. Sammy regretfully recalls Sister Mister gleefully educating on remedial practices learned from The Order, dispersed between her games of drink and blades.
Turning, Sammy witnesses the vacant stare of the upright Uncle Gonzo as The Mayor examines his modern pair of scale covered boots; dense mustache unquestionably blotted with thin gobs of the Povertoid jelly.
“I wished not to sully my modern fittings on such an urchin, but no matter. Gonzo, our gentlemanly compatriot, appears to possess open tabs with every establishment in sight.” proclaims The Mayor, still admiring the razor sharp toes.
“You gobbled up my bosses’ key to regaining sanity, fled, went window shopping, and knocked out a vital resource to finding my dear friend.” deadpans Sammy.
“And brought a sense of humility to the squalid residents along the way. A productive morning, no doubt.” boasts The Mayor, neck cracking.
Sammy responds by gently closing his eyes, and placing his dirtied face into the palm of his free hand.
“My, my. Those insufficient lungs of yours beseech the soothing comforts of a fine smoke. Stay here, The Uncle and I shall fetch a quality roll.” offers The Mayor, commandeering Uncle Gonzo toward Stan Still’s Savory Smokery ‘N Smokes.
Discerning beyond the now peacefully sleeping, snot covered Titus, Sammy is alerted to the Punky Princess abundantly leaking fuel across the way.
