Sinner Man Hides: Fantasy

Sinner man, where can you run to? You might have thought that was a philosophical, hypothetical sort of question. It's not. I figure that musician didn't know any real heavy people, but he asked all his usual procurers and dealers and finders and fixers and nobody knew the answer, so he went ahead and put it in a song. Crowd-sourcing before there was the internet, if you know what I mean. I'm pretty sure that he found what he was looking for, too. I've seen somebody at the "where" in the where can you run to who looks an awful lot like that musician. He doesn't sing or play music though. Never, not once. I don't know why. There's two possibilities. One is that getting in that door and past that bouncer can require a hell of a bribe, if you don't know anybody, if you're not on the list. The other is that the management got pissed at his swanning around and arbitrarily canceled all deal-with-the-Devil benefits. They can do that, you know. When the deal was for something like the return of life or immortal youth, the results can be really, really ugly.


Inspiration: "Oh, Sinner Man" - Black Diamond Heavies
Story potential: Medium.
Notes: Interesting setting, I guess. Another version of Purgatory, or the In-Between Place.
