Michael Lister - Soldier 02 - The Big Beyond - Plot & Excerpts
“Asking or demanding?” Clip asked. “I ’on’t know. Why?” “Need to know if trouble’s waiting for me out there.” “Clip, po-leese always be trouble.” “Good point,” Clip said, removing the revolver from the table beside his bed and shoving it in the back of his suspendered pants. Clip’s shack in Shine Town was tiny, and it didn’t take him long to get to the front door. Located in the easternmost section of St. Andrews originally known as East End, Shine Town was the Negro community named after a big moonshiner named Shine who moved in after the mill closed, and made and sold rum. Before him, back when it was East End, a man named Thompson ran a saw mill. Lumber from the head of East Bay was floated down to the head of Massalina Bayou, and the mill workers lived in homes built by the mill owner, known as the quarters. Clip stepped outside to see a thick-bodied middle-aged white man in a day-wrinkled shirt. Weary and in serious need of a shave, the cop didn’t appear to pose much of a threat.
