“The Kid is scraping bottom,” Manfredi said to no one in particular.
His self-conferred nickname had failed to catch on with anybody at the office, and his anus had been itching terribly for the past two business days. He hadn’t made a decent sale in months.
Growing up, he had mastered all the hot dances: the Mashed Potato, the Boney Maroni, the Mermaid. Now he didn’t know what they were doing at the discos. The Running Man? What the hell was that? He felt like he didn’t know anything anymore; what the shrinks called dissociation. No way was Manfredi going to let them pull a psych-job on him, though.
If he could only score: a horse, a sale, a piece of ass. Anything to make a man feel that maybe the whole hill of beans was worth a damn.
A cute secretary walked by.
“The Kid used to be a junkie, but now he’s straight-edge,” Manfredi called out, adjusting his tie.
No response.
The Kid was all alone.
