How to Get Into Heaven without Really Trying

Prologue

==

Madison Square

==

Spot was dead and he knew it. He could feel his own spirit rising up and up and up and disappearing into nothingness.

It was the alcohol that killed him. Well, actually it was the jackass with the gun, but the alcohol helped a little.

A normal night out on the town, it was. Drinks all around. The Brooklyn boys sat in the smoke-filled pub, talking and laughing and getting very drunk. The hangover the following morning would be Hell, but they could deal with that in exchange for one night of hedonistic fun.

The fun ended when some man with red eyes and greasy hair blamed Blade, one of Spot's favorite boys, for spilling his drink. The boys were too drunk—or perhaps, too stupid—to point out that he had indeed spilled his own drink and was wasting time convicting them of such a petty crime. One thing led to another, helped along by beer, and soon Blade was caught in a tussle with the red-eyed man. Both men were slight but tall, but while Blade's hostility spawned from chemical substances, the man's came from somewhere deep in his heart. One could see it in his eyes: he was dangerous.

The atmosphere in the pub was misty, thick; the people were itching for a brawl. The smell of blood was in the air. Spot could smell it, too, but his mind was hazy and he was grinning without a reason. He didn't think twice about it.

That was when the fucker pulled out a gun. Spot saw it first. Black and bulky and disgusting and he was cheating! Brooklyn acted on reflex, and as the two fighters rose to the circle of chanting men around them, he dove.

A crack from the gun. The smell of gun powder in the air.

A hush.

Collectively, a gasp from the crowd.

Spot felt blackness descend over him.

He hoped his hair was okay.
