LAST CALL FOR LAZARUS

by ALAN CATLIN

Throughout the 80’s, 90’s and into the ought’s he worked the WT’s; first a thirteen year stretch of nights and later a twelve-year stretch of days. He watched the towers come down behind the bar surrounded by TV’s and thought this is really the end. It wasn’t but it was the beginning of it. During those twenty-five years he worked at least ten St Patrick’s Days which he compared to, ”a glimpse into the first circle of hell with a penny whistle, bag pipes and fiddle accompaniment. An Irish Bar on St Patrick’s Day makes the inevitable Conga Lines from Hell on New Year’s Eve in supper clubs seem like normal behavior.” - Patrick Allen (from the introduction)
