"Empire Memories" by jpg
...these thoughts in my head. Weirdly, all being translated in real time from Italian. Keep cash in the front pocket. Walk the old Roman roads, rent a Vespa GS160, drink only wine and water. Avoid the dust, it is full of empire memories. Don't faint...
"Lefty" by PeoplesDuke
Returned from the night out. Witnessed a street brawl outside a trattoria. 50 meters from the Trevi Fountain. Keck says "a fight". I look forward and see 6 people squared off and fighting 3 on 3. Tables get knocked over and women and kids are screaming. Next thing I see is a "lefty" holding a fully cocked bottle of wine. He hurled it at the head of his opponent. Opponent ducks and the bottle comes straight at us and shatters at our feet. The chards of glass and wine spray towards us hitting our legs and soaking my shoes. I jumped into a small leather goods shop while Keck continued to watch the melee unfold. One of the combatants made a run for it. He was chased down by the shop owner who picked up another wine bottle. The shop owner caught him from behind. Keck said he was running full speed holding the bottle by the neck above his head like he was doing the DoubleV. In a forceful single blow he smashed the runner's head at the temple. The fella fell head first into the cobblestone street and layed there unconscious. Keck thought he was dead! The two friends tried furiously to drag the lifeless body to safety. They moved him a few feet but he was too heavy. A minute or two later he reanimates. He ducks into a local creperie and the staff helps administer first aid. All activity ceased for several minutes on this busy street. Oddly the bottle used to bash the guys head did not break. It lay undisturbed next to a pool of blood in the center of the cobblestone.

The people of this world await. Somehow drums are beating, somewhere the bass kicks in, something's happening there. No falsehoods. No bluster. Italy.
"Al Dente" by PeoplesDuke
He insulted the chef's Spaghetti Carbonara. Claimed the pasta wasn't "al dente". Crazy.
