Dear Lou, Please Kill the Cats - published by The Blotter Magazine

 The Blotter Magazine has just published my latest, "Dear Lou, Please Kill the Cats" 

"...I took the 7 train to Vernon Blvd/Jackson Avenue and then walked a couple blocks just north of the Long Island Railroad train yards.  My assignment was Henry’s apartment on 51st Avenue, in a bleak, forgotten part of Long Island City."  


"...Henry’s was an old closest-to-the-factory apartment which one could find easily in this industrialized part of Queens."

"...he remained in a godless, gas-lined, three-cat apartment with dusty, dirty, wall-to-wall carpeting and cheap motel furnishings that sent me back to the days of telephone cable spools used as tables and plaster images of conquistadors for that southwest motif circa 1960."

"What's the mirror for?" Owen asked.
"To keep an eye on the cats," I  said.
