Good work. You found my secret file cabinet of personal dossiers.

I'm working on a new case. You could help solve it and see your work in my next memoir. Here's a clue... A punk kid rode by on his bike and yelled "Hey Hammer! if you're looking for the truth, you can find it in the ten cent rag It's Pulp-Noir under a dime!". And with that he was gone.

"They say laughter's the best medicine. I guess that's why my doctor told me to quit journalism and start a clown college. But then I realized, most of the clowns are already in politics. And their jokes? Not nearly as funny as the ones I dig up on the daily."

"I tried to write a story about honesty in Washington, but my typewriter jammed. Must’ve sensed the lie before I did. Around here, truth’s an endangered species—spotted once a decade, stuffed, mounted, and trotted out for campaign season."

NewzHammer Publishing: Jack Hammer’s Memoir Noir Collection

Jack Hammer3 months ago1 week ago

HAMMER PUBLISHING

 The Written Record of an Existence.

These are the files the Controller didn’t re-write and the system can’t delete. This is the cold, hard history of my life—the real crimes, the phantoms of the past, and the black-and-white truth of a life lived outside the program. Every entry is memory-resident, stained with ink and blood, and deep behind my firewall. Dig deep, but don’t expect a happy ending.
