Page 4! From Maurice, A True Howler

 

Dear Book,

             You know what I think? I think Joe just gave me and Sneaky jobs for old time’s sake and because he had a nice gig going and could share. I don’t think he really needed either one of us, not really.

          Joe is a super nice guy, who didn’t forget his friends, you know, after he got famous.

          And he is famous, man! If you were a guy, Book, I would say just listen to the radio!

          Joe paid us too. Neither me or Sneaky have ID of course, so it all went into a couple of accounts in his name, and we have debit cards. Lol! Oh, Mama! A Howler with a debit card! Would you ever....

          We never used them. We never needed to. We just ate and slept in Joe's place.

          I have a couple of funny things to write about.

1.     When I’m here I never notice my tail. I don’t even think about having a tail. I wonder if it disappears? Funny business for a full-blood Howler!

 

2.     The other thing is Kresh. He’s a nice guy too. The weird thing that happened the other day is that he hired a set of triplets to work the counter. They all dress the same. We don’t make anyone wear a uniform, so it’s not that.

All three are named Rachel. There's Rachel, Raquel, and Rochel! It’s nuts in the shop! They are music students, like everybody who ever worked for the shop was. Pretty of course. Kresh is only human.

 

I’m going to talk to Sneaky tonight and see what she thinks. She will know what to do! She always does! I know she won’t just walk out. Maybe that’s better anyhow.

Joe doesn’t deserve that.

I guess as long as people keep buying music and ice cream, we could go anywhere there are cash machines.

But I know where I want to go! Ralph’s forest! Out there I feel so good! Maybe I’ll make up songs and play my harmonica!

I will know I have a tail out there, Book!

Just wait!
