Year of the Dragon

August heat on Canal Street. A revolver’s hammer clicks back, then clicks forward again, unloaded. White burns case files at night while a brass dragon whispers on Joey Tai’s desk. White’s wife leaves notes no one reads. White crumples them into his fist. Cimino wires paranoia like live current through a neon noir.
