The Cystic Detective looks at the purple sky. His left hand feels crowded—for lack of a better term. He watches a lump move around his knuckles when he makes a fist. “No surfing the psychic viscera today,” he says glumly. Picking up his paper coffee cup, made weightier by change from a passersby who mistook him for a vagrant, Cystic Detective saunters down the sidewalk. He hears the word “homicide” echo on the wind and sees the dewy residue it leaves in its wake.
