EXCELLENT opening. If it hasn't be influenced by one of my favorite sets
of stories (the _Callahan's_ books by Spider Robinson) I'll be very
surprised...and if the author hasn't read the Callahan's books, he should.
:) The format of a bar in which multiple stories, involving the reactions
of the characters we grow familiar with over time (like Doc Webster, Jake,
Fast Eddie, and of course, Mike Callahan, from the Callahan books) to
strange events...stories written not from the point of view of those who
whom the events happened, but to the outsiders who are touched by these
events in some way...the format has always worked very well if used
correctly, and you definitely used it correctly here. I look forward to
seeing the other stories set there.
