THE NIGHT OF THE JACKAL

There was nothing inside the fridge interesting enough to eat or drink at 2 AM. Bottled water would have to do. I closed the door and he was already there, gaping at me. 

After almost dropping the bottle, I said: “You’re early.”

The psychopomp frowned, then opened his massive black snout in disbelief. “Daylight Saving Time?” he asked.

“Not anymore. We just changed it back an hour ago.”

“Can’t stand Daylight Saving Time! It messes everything up!”

“Right? No idea why we keep doing this thing. It’s insane.”

“What do you suggest we do now?”

Anubis and I sat on the sofa and watched “The Day of the Jackal” starring Edward Fox – for way more than an hour.
