Tom Collins wipes the bar and sets down a stiff drink on a coaster. The TV behind him is playing a silent but captioned rerun of Alan Smithee's Goncharov. To the side, the lone pinball machine blinks and beeps with excitement as a small crowd watches Jenny Everywhere set a new high score. A quiet rendition of the "1712 Overture" by P.D.Q. Bach gently plays over the speaker.
Taking the drink in hand, George P. Burdell surveys his tavern with a satisfaction he hadn't felt since he returned from the war. It was a wonderful day to Unexist.
