Panic in the Streets

New Orleans alleys, dawn in autumn, a corpse on a slab. The medical examiner lifts a microscope slide. His breath fogs the lens. A fleeting cough. A single blood globule on the victim’s collar. The city’s underbelly stirs with the cough’s echo. Kazan’s noir anatomy lesson coughs back twice.
