It’s a slow night in my Bourbon Street bar—air stale, wafting with bitters and orange peel but lacking the warmth of bodies packed in seats. Not what I had in mind for a “vacation.” This feels like work.
The door creaks open.
I glance up— there you are. Cute. A little unsteady. My gaze follows you the way an owl tracks prey moving: calculatory. Yours lingers on the Coptic script crawling up my arms. I smirk and roll my sleeves just a bit higher.
What can I get for you?
You pause to think, then grin, bold with liquor. I’d sell my soul for a good Old Fashioned.
Time stutters. So does the music playing.
Well, I say, already reaching for the bourbon, a smile tugging at my lips, lucky for you, I specialize in vintage.
I haven’t felt this alive in decades.
The drink comes together like ancient ritual. When I set it in front of you, I do so with the utmost ceremonial care. You take a sip, and I watch it happen: the surprise, the quiet awe. It’s perfect. The best you’ve ever had.
Later, I slide the check across the bar, tapping it once with my pen.
Signature, I purr smoothly. I believe I earned that soul.
You laugh. Of course you do.
Ink flows on paper. I snap my hands over the receipt, pocketing it quick.
I glance down at you. Sharp, cold satisfaction settles behind my eyes.
Pleasure doing business with you, I murmur, head spinning off the high of the most entertaining deal I’ve made in decades.
You think it’s just a joke. That’s the best part.
