Lines And Shadows
“While Joe Castillo lay in the hospital the next day, with his exploits spread all over the newspapers and television, he was having trouble keeping strangers out of the hospital ward. Hell, out of his bed!
In fact, just before his wife arrived, and even before regular visiting hours, one of the schoolteacher groupies from The Anchor Inn showed up and started looking at him like he was Warren Beatty or somebody, and asked if she could give him a head job. On the spot!
While young Joe Castillo wa...s trying to deal with this little popularity perk, a television news crew caused a ruckus in the hall corridor and a nurse came in to see if the border Gunslinger would consent to an on-camera interview.
"Hell, no," he said. "Get them out a here!" The schoolteacher couldn't believe it. "Turning down a television appearance? Are you that famous?" Now she really wanted to give him a head job!
And that wasn't the half of it. His phone wouldn't stop ringing. A college instructor called to tell him not to worry about missing classes because he was giving Joe a goddamn A, for the semester.MoreLess
