The Shadows Of Life Prologue

Walking down the main street Jesse quickened his pace I can't be late for work not again he told himself Ah here it is the barrel room as he opened the door it was a large room filled with tables the smell of strong beer and wood filled the atmosphere the sound of music was playing while many people from all walks of life were drinking horsing around and having a good time


“Hey you are late again.” the bartender said Jesse walked to the counter man he always gets like this Jesse said to himself “Sorry it's been a rough morning,” Jesse replied in the nicest voice he could muster


“If I were a nice person I would say that sounds horrible but I'm not so get to work we have a party coming at ten and you are closing tonight so no bailing.” said the bartender


“Ok.” Jesse replied as he went into the back room and put on his work clothes when he came back out Marty was dressed in his best poker outfit “And no flirting it’s not professional for this business,” Marty said then turned around and started for the door

Jesse worked until almost three then closed the bar as he was walking home he noticed a black cat by the street lamp he stared into the cat’s Amber eyes and it stared back and then slowly slinked away odd Jesse thought as he started to cross the street then a headlight made Jesse look but it was too late Jesse saw his body laying there lifeless while the police and ambulance tried to sort out what was going on then Jesse felt himself slip and the lights blurred as his surroundings disappeared
