Short story

I called him Starman. All his friends did. Martin Deckley doesn’t really have the same edge, does it? Especially when you’re an aspiring rock star. It was from that Bowie number. You know the one I mean, ‘There’s a Starman waiting in the sky/blah blah… he thinks he’ll blow our mind…’

Well, he blew my mind.
