The bar was loud until three men entered, and silence followed. Peter led, cigarette glowing; Dante with an axe, Silas with his lighter. The bartender stammered, “Wh-what’ll it be?” Peter’s smile was sharp. “Whiskey. Three. And silence.”* No one argued. Then a drunk muttered,* “Three men don’t scare me.” Dante’s axe lifted, Silas’s fire spread. Peter raised his glass. “Here’s to memory.” By night’s end, only three bikes rode away.
