An excerpt from the upcoming novella "The Three Mirrors of Justice" by Claude Milieu.

Here it is, 4 years later! I am taking a crap. Hey, what's this under the toilet??!?!?(!?) It is a paper sack full of money. Now I will count it! There's lots.

I am at the same dark bar. How fun! Now it is 4 years later though. I am telling the barkeep that I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna up and quit my job and start the American Dream. He is supportive.

Now I have just told Sterling Matthews I have quit the job! Oh dear, what a pickle. I'm in a pickle here. But he is also supportive, because he is my brah. Then I totally jam out of the izzoffice! It is on like "Discs of Tron."

Out of the job, I am living the High Life! Like Miller, which is also the Champagne of Beers(TM). I am bragging to people in the bar that I am going to build a time machine. Fuck, now that's a bold claim!!!!

An interview with Claude Milieu

BookInspector: The idea of time in your works is astonishing.

Milieu: You fuckin' wish!!!!

BookInspector: The time machine...
Milieu:

Milieu:

Milieu: The time machine represents the hope of our children.

BookInspector: Heyooooooooooo!
Milieu: Not our children!

BookInspector: Heyooooooooooo!
Milieu: I meant all of our children! Not just yours and mine, Mr. BookInspector! Oh well!

BookInspector: Let's devise a secret handshake.
Milieu: (nods)

BookInspector and Milieu devise a secret handshake for several minutes.
