Lapis Lazuli
Fantasy - Sci-fi Fantasy
by Eugen Bacon

The comedian was doing a “Who is this guy?†feature, was rolling on a new gig, a Bill Clinton impersonation that worked so well it warmed patrons with mirth on that night of howling storm and feral wind. The performance was funny, so funny it almost brought the house down. And the decidedly beautiful alien chap beside me laughed heartily along with the rest of the mob.
