Singapore Sing was one of those guys without money, home or friends who chased after lost causes with women's names and got mixed up in affairs that led nowhere. His lost cause went by the name of Laura and he had not seen her for some years. Although he had a hunch that the girl he was looking for had been dead for years and that he was in love with a corpse, he continued searching for her and one rainy, stormy night, wounded and with nothing more to lose Singapore Sling arrived at a house because he believed that Laura was there. In the darkness of the night and around an open hole in the garden, two women were trying to bury a dead man but Singapore Sling, with hot lead in his shoulder, couldn't do much right now. Engulfed by the shadows and his memories, he waited for daybreak to get into the house longing for Laura, ready to live over his old flame and come out the loser once more.
But things didn't turn out the way he thought and his time was running out... |
