Here’s an excerpt

“…She’d been talking as they walked. They were eating the chicken, just taking it easy and enjoying life. They'd been laughing about their escape, enjoying the exhilaration that comes with relief. 

 “Hey man, is that chicken good?” 

The speaker was wearing a dark blue suit, a white shirt and a blood red tie. The other man walking beside him was dressed identically except for his tie. It had a red and black stripe. Funny how the memory of their clothes was so sharp. 

 “What’s it to you shithead?" Lem liked to shock people. Especially people in authority. He referred to them as suits. 

 The suit just grinned. 

 John had grabbed Lem's arm and tried to pull him in the opposite direction. “Come on Lem let's get outta here.” 

 Lem remembered saying to John, “Listen man I ain’t running from no chicken shit suit, you got that?” He’d looked back at the man in the blue suit. “Hey mutha, you want some of this chicken?” 

 The guy just smiled. Both of them were smiling. 

 He’d heard John say, “Oh shit, we’re in for it now.” Over his shoulder he saw what John meant. There were three more guys behind them. 

 Lem was trying to remember, “What had the bastard said when he was smashing his face? Oh yeah, the suit had been talking about the fucking chicken.” 

 “Did you enjoy the chicken asshole? I hope so, it's your last meal.” “WHACK.” Lem remembered the sound of the blow more than the pain. He remembered hearing what sounded like an echo coming from John’s direction. Reality caught up to memory. 

 “John!” He thought, “Where the hell was John?” He searched the alley frantically. The first time around, his eyes passed over the figure against the dirty brick wall, then whipped back. He could tell from the way John's head was turned they wouldn’t be traveling together again. Not in this life. John's eyes stared whitely into eternity...“
