Ebook Turn Off the Sunshine

Hollywood is a suburb of Los Angeles where some large canneries are located.

They put their product up in round, flat boxes shaped like, and about as big as, a cheese.

John Barton Hunter - which was not his real name - worked in one of these canneries. He made money, above two hundred grand per income tax. That is when the making was good.

Back when he was tender, Hunter had been a newspaper reporter, and ever since affected the soft, big leaded pencils. They dirtied his hundred-dollar suits.

He had been an actor, and still watched what effect his words had on audiences, down to one. He strutted a little when he walked. He pronounced words too correctly. Otherwise he was a good egg.
