One: Too Many Tweaks — from “Manhattan Bully Wars (1947)” EXERPT
Adam Panflick stared into the darkness. He could hear the drone of Maldbar’s voice in the background. But it was fading fast as his own thoughts began to take hold.
This was Parousia Academy’s last class on Friday in the last week of March, 1947.
Adam needed to get out. He itched. He was dead bored. Throughout his capacious 10-year-old mind, there echoed a steady chant:
Out of this building! Out now! Out now! I can’t take this! Out now! Out now!
