the rumors about huston? something about them running medical supplies to separatists and how they hid the stuff under bottles of slivovitz wrapped in straw so the border guards would take the plum brandy and never looked deeper? that and the other rumor about a ritual gone wrong. something like they tried to bind an efrieeti to the motor of a 69 Cougar to make a supernatural super charger, but then they mispronounced the third to last syllable of the incantation and got turned into a yellow house finch, and they'll stay that way until they achieves true self knowledge and open their third eye? both of those rumors may seem like plausible stories to people who know charlie, but they are largely false. another rumor says charlie just wandered off with a notebook and a ballpoint pen and an old paperback with a creased spine. they had a sandwich and some potato chips and a can of 7-Up. said they'd be home later. that one has a lot of truth in it.
"you can find things if you look for them," someone said they said. "you can find things. look for them," someone said they said. someone. said they said. "find things, someone." they said, "someone find things."
