Car window. Little leather cap. Leathery waistcoat. Looking at reflection. Squatting. Leathery short shorts. Chain through the loops. A heavy one. One bought from a pet shop, supposed to be for choking dogs. Saved a dog? Leather boots – of course. Thick legs. Full of hot man tattoos. A big tiger. Some naked women. Unsquatting. Lean in further to window. Eyeliner. Fucked it up. Gone underneath waterline instead of in it. How’ve I done this? Watched a video about it too. Hadn’t listened? Look like a ghoul now. Lick finger and try to smudge it; making it worse. Panda eyes. Shit. Have to make it work. Phone hidden in little back pocket. 21:04. Too early. Starts at 20:30. Early crowd will be there. Are they bad? Sigh. Will do a loop. In leather shorts? Have to.
21:41. Much better. Look at hand. Boldly tattooed there. Walk up to door. ID. Other back pocket.
