Tales from the Universe: The Fourth

Eros and Apollo walked into a bar.

I was already there.

I looked at Eros.

Then Apollo.

Then the empty chair beside me.

“Where’s Thanatos?”

They looked at each other.

Then they looked at me.

“Oh,” said Apollo.

Eros smiled.

Thanatos was already there.

I looked down at my drink.

“Right.”

It was going to be one of those nights.
