  • The Black Man Who Was Thursday 12. A Nightmare  

    “Land on that building there,” Monday said when they arrived in New York and were hovering over the Bronx.

  • The Black Man Who Was Thursday 11. On the Edge 

    When they were up on the street, Thursday spotted the MetroRail. “It’s about to leave,” Thursday said to Saturday, Tuesday, and Friday as they ran toward the train. “If we catch it now, we can lose Monday and the rest of the idiots.” They caught the train just before it departed, and they watched Monday…

  • The Black Man Who Was Thursday 10. Duel Remix 

    The day was hot in Houston, Texas and Thursday sat uncomfortably in his chair at the outside cafe. He was sweating, beads were growing from his head and forehead and occasionally he used a hand to swipe at the sweat, then he’d shake the hand at his side as the sweat sprayed the sidewalk.  “Is…

  • The Black Man Who Was Thursday 9. I, Robot

    Thursday and Saturday moved quickly on the sidewalk toward the eastside. “Should we jump on a bus?” Thursday asked.  “It’s late,” Saturday said. “Do you want to wait for a bus? We can walk it, it’s really not that far.” Thursday wasn’t in a mood to run. He was very impressively dressed and hated that…

  • The Black Man Who Was Thursday 8. Face Off

    It didn’t seem that Saturday noticed Thursday as he approached. Thursday stared with astonishment at the old man and his farce of a mustache. A sick dread came over him, that the Idiots were more than mere mortals and they could succeed in their goals if left unchecked. Perhaps the Idiots had found a source…
