Barfly - Kindle Fiction

Barfly 
by Max G. Bernard

While a myriad of giant green and yellow butterflies from outer space landed in Chicago, the other spaceship only had one occupant--a sentient lead elephant. The lead elephant that landed in its own spaceship, and appeared on my block, was as different from the butterflies as night from day. As salt from sugar. As reality from dreams. Had the butterflies actually launched their interstellar flight as part of a quest for a soft drink? And what was the lead elephant doing here?

Steve and I nicknamed the lead elephant Prudence Pachyderm. When it got drunk enough at our neighborhood watering hole (which took a lot of liquor), it wasn't half-bad when it sang along to "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille" on the jukebox.
