Why this must be read:

Remember Eddie, the rummy, sad simpleton from Gillian and Bounty Hunter? Well, Salieri remembers him, and after you read this story, you won't ever forget him again either...

The Apostles Mission smelled like wet wool and beets and, over in the corner, piss and bleach, and each smell seemed to move through the low-ceilinged dining room in its own way, the wet-wool like a heavy-shouldered man with a dog, the others like pickpockets through a crowd, turned sideways and insinuating so that you couldn't evade them even if you stayed out of the corner or faced the open doors. Eddie didn't mind the man-and-dog, but the pickpocket stench made him fidgety. And thinking about the man-and-dog and the pickpockets made things confusing, put shadows where there weren't shadows and extra people at the trestle tables. He stood between the rows of benches and counted the hunched shoulders of the men and tried to make beets into beets and wet-wool into wet-wool again. After awhile there were just regular men at the tables and he couldn't smell the place so much anymore.

And yes, the boys make a guest appearance too....
