“Sorry, son. There are no jobs open. Afraid we can’t use these pictures, either.”
Tom Riley, city editor of The Brandale Ledger shoved the stack of glossy black and white prints across the desk toward Jimmy Evans who faced him squarely, a miniature camera protruding from the pocket of his shabby tweed overcoat.
“Well, thanks anyway.”
Jimmy spoke in a flat, discouraged tone as he gathered up the photographs and slid them into a cardboard folder. The editor watched him with a thoughtful gaze.
“You’ve been coming around here quite often, Evans.”
