    PROMISE

    The Marshes criminal police department was impossible to reach. The Arnavuts had stationed themselves at every approach to the building. We had no idea how many Shortridge officers were involved — they operated undercover — but we knew they...

    PLEASURE

    The winter sun filtered through the open blinds onto my face when I woke. Smith was gone from the bed. It pleasantly surprised me to feel well-rested — no tension in my back or shoulders for once. I washed...

    PASSION

    He carried me to the left wing of the house. That room was another fusion of spaces: bedroom, office, walk-in wardrobe. It was modest compared to the main chamber — almost stoic. The headboard of a double bed stood...

    • I don’t remember him having 4 arms. That is a cool public service announcement to stay away from fast food.

      • the 4 armed Grimace was only for like a year or two. Many complaints were coming in from parents that Grimace was scaring the shit out of kids watching those commercials. Thanks Fia.

    • Cleverly penned, Keith. Excellent write my friend. Sounds like Grimace and Cookie Monster would have a lot in common. lol. So he couldn’t get over as a heel? So they turned him baby! The four arms are kinda creepy, even by dropping “Evil” it still sounds like a heel name. Was the Hamburglar a heel too? Stealing hamburgers and such. I’m having too much fun with the wrestling lingo brother. Appreciate you.

      • HA! Hamburglar was always a heel. He was never gruesome or disturbed looking. One look at evil grimace was scary & unsettling for kids. I can see the similarities of Grimace & Cookie Monster. Totally. Thanks Damian for the fun reply back!

    • Hey Keith, I can dig it. Nicely written my dear friend!

    • The “Evil Grimace” design definitely leaned into that exaggerated, bulky cartoon villain look. It wasn’t really about realistic body size so much as creating a goofy, over-the-top shape that kids would instantly recognize. What’s funny is how he eventually transformed from a four‑armed “evil” milkshake thief into the friendly, clumsy purple blob everyone knows today, one of the strangest character glow‑ups in fast‑food history. Big purple hug, my dear friend.
