The author recalls some hairy incidents and particular customers on his newspaper route in east Charlotte in the late '70s. The ending is a graphic surprise. Approx. 1500 words. If this tale were a movie it would most likely be rated PG-13 (for a foul language outburst). Sex: None. Violence: None. Mr. Malloy: Absent. Real-life accuracy: Extremely high. Strangeness level: Low.
