Tyrone “Lil Flip” Penny kept the seminary collar in his pocket whenever he stepped out at night. It reminded him of a time when he thought he knew 
better. Tonight, he didn’t. When he saw the cop that had given him the jaywalking ticket, the bottled rage that got him expelled from the Episcopalians found its way to the surface. The ex Golden Gloves champion, ex marine, ex steel worker won out over the ex priest in him. The cop didn’t arrest him. He was cool. That other dude probably wouldn’t be so cool. When he woke up. Breakfast at blue sky. That’s what you did in this town after a brawl. The eggs were perfect. Maybe there was a god after all…
