The Fusco Brothers by J.C. Duffy for April 17, 2016

“I first heard Personville called Poisonville by a red-haired mucker named Hickey Dewey in the Big Ship in Butte.”

“Call Me Ishmael. Call me anything. Just don’t call me late for dinner.”

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

“We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.”…

“It was a dark and stormy night.”

Well at last it seems Dr Kaputchnik’s therapy is starting to help Al. He seems more rational.

It was the busted times, it was the wurst of times.

I was a dark and stormy knight.

Read that in college. I guess they thought we would identify with it. I sure did!

“A screaming comes across the sky.”

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”

“I’m pretty much fcked”? This one I don’t know. What is it?

Thanks. Haven’t read it or seen it, but it’s on my list.
