We went for a rainy walk yesterday in the ‘hood where Henry works. It’s one of those areas that’s half-abandoned and dilapidated but you just know the leftover residents have lived there their entire lives. A few people watched me suspiciously, not taking kindly to someone snooping around their hometown rubble; but there was a tall beanpole of a hooker strutting around down one of the back roads with an oversized umbrella, and she flashed her widely-gapped teeth at us when she passed and called Chooch  a handsome man. Chooch was like, “Whassat?” when she passed, and I was like, “Someone Daddy pays when he wants to have filthy sex, Chooch.”

I saw some broad idling on the curb in her Blazer two separate times, each time with a different thug-type talking to her through the passenger window. I wondered aloud what was going on and Henry said, “We’re not in Pleasant Hills anymore, remember that.

The block parties probably got too swingin’.

Every town needs a good cobbler.

Next time Christina and I are on the hunt for a sleazy dive…

I’m not sure if this is a barn or a house, but I bet the KGBs hiding in there. And possibly the Lost Boys.

If I lived there, I’d use a periscope as my window to the world.

Was there ever a door so seductively blue.

This bench has a weight limit.

Shortcut to meth lab.

    *cracking up at these statements* That Henry! Always full of knowledge!

    You took these with the camera that makes things look like a viewfinder, didn’t you? I LOVE the weird way it lights things. You totally have an eye for this. We are so going to publish a weird book together.

    • Thank you, Alyson!! It’s a good hobby for me, because I don’t get all stressed about it like I do with dumb writing.

      I actually used my regular DSLR for this series, but I bet the plastic cameras would get some great shots of that area too! I love those damn cameras, but I like the instant gratification of using the good old digital, too.

      I would love to write a weird book with you!
