🦇🦇🦇 Marvin’s Story: It was hot summer’s night… Mystery Cache

The Texan moonlight was streaming through the window, and Marvin, who was barely 17, tossed and turned in his bed. He heard his Dad screaming “you’ll damn well get more than you deserve” then a loud thud and then silence. Marvin was angry, but experience had taught him not to intervene. Then the stair, creaked and Marvin decided that it was time to make a strategic exit. He crept out of his bedroom window, ‘borrowed’ his Dad’s Harley and rode into town. He rode and rode giving no attention to where he was going. Finally, he realised he was in a part of town he did not know. He saw light flooding out from a side alley. Marvin, drew up to the alley, got off the bike, and went to investigate. He turned a corner into an alley and a faded poster caught his eye, it read:

Looking for Lost Boys and Golden Girls. If you were born out of time call Eddie on 232323.

Then he heard a noise.

“Psst”, Marvin stood still.

“Psst” the voice went again, Marvin turned, and there she was, a girl, her golden hair glistening in the moonlight.

“Psst”, she said again, “are you a lost boy?”  she asked

“I am not sure” said Marvin, “where am I, what time is it?”

“You are in an alley, at midnight, at the Lost and Found club” said the girl. “I was in the club, listening to Eddie go on and on about me meeting a lost boy. Then I felt woozy and when I came round, I was outside and then you appeared”?

Marvin was confused, but he reasoned that although he did not know an Eddie; the girl was beautiful, and he was kind of lost – so two out of three ain’t bad.

“I don’t know an Eddie, but I am sort of lost” he said. “My name’s Marvin, what’s yours?”

“Patti”, she replied. “This is all a bit bewildering.”

“I couldn’t have said it better myself”, said Marvin “what is a lost boy anyway?”.

“A lost boy is many things”, she said “an outlaw, a lover, a man living on the outside”.

“What does that mean?”, said Marvin

“It means” she said angrily, “he is a Rock ‘n’ Roll hero!”

“Oh” said Marvin quickly seeing an opportunity, as he considered himself a bit of a singer, and dreamed of being a rock star.

Suddenly, there was a movement at the end of the alley. “Who’s there?”, said the girl

“Jim”, said the shadow

“Are you a lost boy?”, she asked

“possibly, I am definitely a boy with nothing to lose” said Jim

“nothing to lose?”, said the girl

“Eddie, sent me, said if I came here just after midnight, I’d find the people who would make my dreams come true. He said he would have come with me but had a tip off as to where he could find original sin”.

“Really”, said Marvin, who was now more confused than ever and slightly freaked out.

“Yes”, said Jim, “apparently, when I meet them, we will make the canyons rock!”.

“It’s all coming back to me now” said the girl. Before, I passed out, I recall Eddie saying that when I met the lost boys, together we would stand in the storm.

“What, the hell does that mean? “said Marvin who was getting cross with the cryptic nature of the conversation, “this is getting us nowhere fast”.

“Don’t, you get it”, said Jim. “This is fate, us meeting”

“I get it “said Patti, “and together…”

“together”, said Marvin delightedly, finally catching on, “we could all be Godz“
