#118 The Warthog Report
“This is the story of a lifetime, Jerry. It’s the kind that takes a nothing paper like The ‘Hog’ and turns it into a real household name instead of highly recommended by fishermen’s wives.”
Jerry teetered in her chair, feet propped up on the desk, considering her options in silence. She shook her head and pulled a cigarette from the inside pocket of her suit jacket.
“No dice, Trev. I’m through with this life. The ‘Hog’ is gonna have to sizzle without me. I’m moving on to bigger and better.”
“Nothing is better than the ‘Hog,’ and you know it.”
In keeping with the theme for the rest of August, check out the publication whose name I used for the story you just read. And if you like their writing, give them a Subscribe to let them know!
