The Tool
The Tool D. A. Ratliff “Twas the night before Christmas, my ass. More like the nightmare before Christmas,” Jason Bartow lamented softly to himself to not wake anyone.

Redemption Splash! The wagon wheel crashed through one of the many potholes in the cobblestone streets of the dock quarter, or Gutfish Alley as the local fishermen preferred to call it. It had earned the nickname long ago for the long troughs built along the road, and in between the ramshackle buildings the men used as boathouses and homes. Several times a day the streets were doused with buckets of water to wash the blood, scales, and fish guts into the troughs and out to the sea, to the army of gulls waiting for a midday feast. The fishing fleet of Lucaras City rivaled the great fleet of the capital city, The City of the Crescent Moon, in size, but the fishermen of Lucaras City did not enjoy the luxuries bestowed upon those working hard to decorate the King's table. Rigorous labor in grimy conditions left those working the docks and fishing fleets smelling of the sea and fish to such an extent that it seemed they could never be free of it. As a result, it was only the rare Captain who was invited to the noble court for festivities. Often new hires to the fishing fleet were said to be 'banished to Gutfish Alley.' Fetid water festooned with slime and fish guts showered the already drenched young man and cursing, he turned to see the crooked smiles of Kinten the Bull and Adom Rhynn laughing back at him. The two men from the Porter's Guild thoroughly enjoyed tormenting the young man, and it seemed that today would be no exception.
