Jacques Vane Private Detective (Weekend Street/Reflections # 227)

 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Philly sidewalk was dull and grimy, a black-and-white blur of grit and secrets. Jacques Vane, trench coat flapping like a tired crow, trudged past a row of bikes. He didn’t look back at the woman in the white coat, but he felt her gaze—sharp, accusing, like a knife between the ribs. She knew something. They always did.

He was distracted by a man slipping a note to a stranger. Another scheme in this sleepless city. Lighting a cigarette, the ember flaring briefly, Vane growled, “Philly, you’ll grind us down.” The woman turned the corner, her jasmine scent lingering. He’d find her. He always did.

Le Cauchemar du Pont (Weekend Street/Reflections # 226)

 Prague, Czech Republic

The man trudged along the slick cobblestone bridge, the sound of footsteps trailed him through the damp night, always close yet never overtaking. He didn’t dare turn. The diamond-shaped sign felt like a cryptic warning mocking his every step. The bridge seemed to stretch endlessly, its railing a cage, the river below whispering accusations he couldn’t decipher. Suddenly, a car's headlights pierced the mist. It was like a splash of cold water on his face, reminding him he was late for the meeting—always late, though he could never recall who summoned him or why.

A Noir Lament (Weekend Street/Reflections # 225)

 

Newport Beach, California

In the smoky haze of the late-night café, Evelyn sat at her usual table, the black-and-white world around her pulsing with the mournful wail of a live jazz band. The saxophone’s notes curled through the air like a confession, each one tugging at the edges of her grief. Behind her dark sunglasses, her eyes were fixed on the empty chair across from her, where her late husband used to tap his foot to the rhythm. A glass of bourbon sat untouched, next to a faded photo of the two of them dancing here years ago. The band played on, but for Evelyn, the music was a ghost—haunting, familiar, and gone.

King of the road (Weekend Street/Reflections # 224)

 Granbury, Texas

The rusted sign of the Brazos Motel creaked in the wind, its faded letters barely clinging to the rusting metal. Once a bustling stop for weary travelers, it now stood as a relic of forgotten dreams along the desolate highway. On this crisp morning, a lone motorcyclist roared past. He didn’t glance at the motel’s crumbling facade or the empty lot where laughter once echoed. He was chasing the horizon, running from memories as faded as the sign.

Good Riddance (Weekend Street/Reflections # 223)

 

Doylestown, PA

Can you see the three faces behind the windows? Two were looking at me and one was looking at the biker who happened to be looking at me. I guess I wasn't very discreet.😏
