Down here at the pawn shop

Today Alan is morose as his dad is still in the hospital for his 7th day. He was supposed to come off the respirator yesterday, but did not. Alan is the most unemotional person in the world, but you can hear in his voice that the news is not good.

The old man founded the place and is the rock, the accountant, the player. But he's not in good shape. He reflects what it's like to have been at the shop for so long: he's 71, but looks and acts like he's 85.

Even as there is the stink of death filling the place - just like last year at this time - some animal has decided to die in the space between the floors.

Meanwhile disgusting co-worker Ron tells tales of his leasing of various prostitutes.

Bad times are all around.
