Doesn\u2019t matter what city or town you call home, nor the languages you speak or don\u2019t.\u00c2\u00a0 Many roads lead to the City of Night.<\/p>\n
Maybe you were running from a debt, escaping a former lover\u2019s wrath, getting away for a weekend at the beach or camp or a friend\u2019s condo on the beach, or maybe you were just going to catch a film at the art house theater.<\/p>\n
I hope you like whiskey.<\/p>\n
You might\u2019ve been a mechanic, foundry worker, or nuclear physicist, a burger flipper, number cruncher, or professional gun available to the highest bidder.<\/p>\n
Famous, infamous, notorious, anonymous, invisible, aspiring, over the hill, or at the top of your game.\u00c2\u00a0 The past doesn\u2019t matter so much in Midnight.\u00c2\u00a0 The mayor was a boxer, upon a time, and perhaps he killed someone in the ring or in an alley or in broad daylight.<\/p>\n
You might be afraid of the dark.\u00c2\u00a0 Claustrophobic.\u00c2\u00a0 A faithful sun worshipper.<\/p>\n
You might have earned money, or inherited it, or stolen it, and maybe your brought some with you.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe not.<\/p>\n
Perhaps you were born in Chicago or Shanghai or Calcutta or Lima or Copenhagen or Perth or Stockholm or Vancouver or Damascus or Karachi.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve been to every continent, sailed the seven seas and five oceans and all the rivers, ridden the rails across borders and time zones and deserts, climbed Kilimanjaro and Everest and the fiery mountains of Pele, you\u2019ll find your compasses, sextants, charts, maps, global positioning satellites, and even your stars, will fail you here.<\/p>\n
Maybe you were smart.\u00c2\u00a0 Quick.\u00c2\u00a0 Funny.\u00c2\u00a0 Good-looking.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe you were lucky.<\/p>\n
Won\u2019t make no difference here.\u00c2\u00a0 Welcome to Midnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
