Daylight—Avenue C.

I ran into Cookie-Puss, lovely little Cookie-Puss…. He was looking a little haggard.

“J-J-James! H-h-how are you? W-w-want s-s-some c-c-coke?”

“No thank you. How are you, though?”

“G-g-great. Sorry about the other night. They really wanted to kill Freeze. I tri-tried to protect him, y’know. Th-th-that’s why I was there. To protect him.”

“Sure, honey. That was sweet. Maybe I will do just one bump.”

We did it on the street corner.

“I’m going into rehab tomorrow,” he said. “Six months.”

“Good for you. I hope it works out.”

We said goodbye. When I saw him three weeks later, he looked very bad indeed. Almost not cute. There were scabs on his face. Circles under his eyes. His clothes were dirty.

“Hi, Cookie-Puss,” I said brightly. “My friend here needs some drugs. Can you help us out?”

“G-g-give me the money, quick. I’ll g-g-get it for you.”

My friend looked dubious.

“Don’t worry,” I assured him, “this is Cookie-Puss. A close friend of mine. Of course we can trust him!”

Cookie-Puss grabbed the money and ran.

“James, how do you know that person running off with my rent money?”

“Oh, he held me at gunpoint a few nights ago. Isn’t he cute?”

Needless to say, I never saw Cookie-Puss again.
