Wike Rideout walked into Dove's Pub.

"Can ise 'ave a beer, Lindsay?"


Lindsay opened a beer and slid it along the bar to Wike.

"Ise start a tab fer you, Wike."


Wike nodded and walked to a table where his father was sitting with several other men.

As was typical for a Saturday night at 8 o'clock, the Pub was filled with mostly men. The women of the village would usually show up between 9 and 10 and then the jukebox would be in full swing and Tuckamore Bay would have its usual Saturday night Dance at Dove's celebration.


Wike slumped in a chair next to his father.


"Youse looks like shit, me son," Clayton laughed.

"Did dey actually make youse do some work fer a change."
