EXCERPT
Greg opened the backdoor to Bliss. He forced himself to stop thinking about how the
name of the place made him think of a day spa rather than a barbeque
joint. The tell-tale wood smoke greeted him, causing his stomach to
growl and suspending his thoughts about the name of the place. Musical
chimes sounded above the door as Greg’s eyes adjusted from the glare
of the fall sun to the darkened interior.
Figures, he thought. Why wouldn't there be chimes at a place called
Bliss?
Once his eyes adjusted, the bar area didn't seem to be out of the
ordinary. Greg stopped at the partition just inside the door. It was
covered with a list of sayings:
Follow Your Bliss
Happiness Is an Inside Job
Be Careful What You Wish For
There's No Better Time to Claim the Future You Want Than Now
A half-laugh escaped him. He thought it was a menu board at first
and the philosophizing caught him off guard. Still, the final statement
hit close to home, and he took a deep breath.
Greg headed to the long black bar. A smaller party room was to the right
with about a dozen tables to the left. It had the feel of a contemporary
jazz club or maybe a speakeasy. Beyond the tables, bright daylight streamed
into the lounge from a passage between the front diner area and the
bar. No creepy Twilight Zone feeling here, he thought.
Two muted, flat screen TVs hung on either side of the wood shelves
stocked with bottles of all sizes. He eyed the taps and sports coverage
while surveying the place. Though there were no windows in the back
area, yet it didn't feel claustrophobic. Between the lighting, mirrors
and glass, there was elegance to the place that radiated a different
type of light. Poster-sized black and white pictures hung on the walls,
showing the history of the place. Greg guessed they were from the 1940's.
Smaller pictures of patrons and notable artifacts related to "Our
Place" dotted the walls. Greg knew from his early research that
Our Place was the name of the restaurant until a few years earlier.
Greg settled in, still getting a sense of the place, when a woman
with graying dark hair approached him. Though he talked with Lois on
the phone, this was the first time he saw her. She was not remarkably
tall, but definitely commanded the bar and carried herself in a way
that betrayed her real age. She had a look of knowing, or maybe it was
just cheer that she had a customer on a dead afternoon.
