Chapter 1: Chapter 1

I was sitting at the bar, drinking my beer and watching the football game on the TV when a group of girls walked in. They were just sort of moving around the bar, talking to each other and occasionally bumping into me. It was a strange bar, I l admit. It was dark, smoky and full of cougars. Most of the patrons were middle-aged, well-off women who dressed like they were living in a Jane Austen book.The bartender was a short redhead who looked like she could blow away anyone without any help.

The group of girls who came in were all in college, I think. One was short and sweet with short frizzy red hair. The other two were short and stacked like I was. I didn't know any of them, but they seemed friendly enough.
