Chapter 1

Jackson

What kind of world do we live in that people pay to have their asses enlarged?

I think about that as I watch a woman with an artificially enhanced derriere bu to the black granite floor

She laughs instead of fucking apologizing or trying to help, and I think it’s too bad they don’t have brain-enhancing surgeries Or common courtesy infusions

Her tribe joins in, howling like she’s just slayed the opening act at The Improv

The poor fucking waiter shoots thelass before some idiot slices themselves open

Grabbing a rag froet a mop I’ll keep an eye on this”

Relief replaces the anger in his eyes “Thanks…appreciate it” He gives h the croard the back

For all their alcohol-induced camaraderie, I’ve not seen one person in here treat the staff like hus

He’s back a fewwhy there isn’t a separate cleanup staff But then, I don’t know shit about running bars so who the fuck knows? I know a lot about running a lot of shit, but bars are not

I' me come here

I seethe through clenched teeth, as the thu bass assaults my ears

The enormous, chromed-and-mirrored space bustles with the current Manhattan ‘it’ crowd Everyone is so clearly i pictures with those stupid fucking duck lips like their lives are a never ending happily ever after

I glance at er can I stand to wait?

My department store chain is hot for a piece of land in Houston for an expansion plan that’s been in the pipeline for two years I found land that’s perfect, but the owners have been tough as fuck to deal with I’m here to meet them once more, face to face, and convince them to seal the deal

I’ll getto be in for so circus

I can’t stand drunks

Overenthusiastic idiots who think they’re thepeople on the planet
