Serial: "Hawkins County" Chapter 2 - Nostalgic 1970s Americana

"Hawkins County" has a dual story line until well into the second act. You have already met Pat O'Connor, the delinquent teenage boy on the run from the law. The premise of his story line: Can Pat O'Connor continue to elude capture by law enforcement for probation violation? Now in chapter 2, you will meet Jack Johnson, a nerdy college student whose life becomes enmeshed with Pat O'Connor's in way the two can not yet imagine. This is the second story line, with Jack Johnson being the antagonist to the protagonist Pat O'Connor.

The crowd laughed, politely.

The crowd laughed again, politely. Bernice Putsky up in the bleachers coughed again, so loudly this time that jack heard the phlegm crackling in her throat. If I had me a gun, bet I could knock you right off the bleachers from here, you old cow. Bang, right between the eyes! Jack smirked, imagining Bernice Putsky tipped over with her legs sticking straight up in the air like a duck in a shooting gallery. That'll stop your hacking, by golly. (to be continued)
