When Tony Met Adam (Short Story) (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
He hated it for the usual reasons—the relentless traffic jams, the unending sameness of the weather, and the air of frantic, fear-driven competition that ruled the city. It was as if all four million inhabitants were holding their breath, terrified that if they were on the top, they’d fall; if they were climbing, they wouldn’t make it; and if they were at the bottom, they’d never get their big break. It was called the City of Angels, but the folks who gave it that name had neglected to mention that the particular angels who lived there didn’t answer to the man upstairs. Jules could almost hear one of those satanic types laughing as he gazed at his current number one reason why he hated L.A. A kid, barely out of his teens, was pointing a handgun at Jules’ chest. “Give me your wallet!” There had been a sign saying, “Park at your own risk” posted at the entrance to this parking garage that was cut into the hillside beneath his West Hollywood hotel. But Jules had foolishly assumed any risk would occur at night, not during broad daylight.
