the car pulled up to a halt.
i exited and started the walk to the door to Norma Desmond's old place; 'sheesh', i thought, this hasn't changed since the last time i was here, back in the bad old days when men were men and the apes were, erm, still apes...... |

Walking up to the massive oak doors, I remember thinking "What knockers!" They were as ornate as any I had ever seen, great big lion's heads with rings hanging from the mouth.

On the other hand... what other lead did I have? I considered the knockers thoughtfully.

The left one growled at me. I did a double-take, and then yowled loudly, as the right one snapped at my finger.

"Oh come back you big sissy," the knockers called after me, "we were just being playful - you have no idea how boring it is to be us: no one ever comes by!" They opened the door for me, rolling their eyes.

It was the eyes that kept my attention, as they rolled, and I sidled past into the dark interior of the old place. As I remember, it was dark, dank, with a faint perfume of cigarette smoke, stale cologne and a musty smell as if from wet fur !

Illuminated by the glow from the fireplace were two nylon-clad legs stretched across the divan. The rest of the body was hidden in shadow.

A spark shot from the fire and momentarily lit the body that was lounging across the divan. I shuddered; looked again before the light extinguished, and gasped in wonderment....

"Mrs. Shagalott?" I stammered. What was my third grade teacher doing here?

I thought I saw a hint of recognition flash across her face, and then in a instant was gone. But then, the face was in shadow, and those legs?

Then I realised, it was a trick of the light, there was no way those legs belonged to Mrs Shagalott, who always wore woollen stockings whilst these were definitely silk, especially with those killer heels.....
Suddenly a pop, and the lights came on.... |

"Come sit by the fire with me," she cooed, as I realized my mouth was hanging open.
I tried to act nonchalant, as I slowly walked closer to the fire. |
