Publisher's Synopsis
Rocko Pitts is a low-ranking receiving clerk at Junction Grocer Supermarket. He doesn't like going to Fury Tavern with his coworkers, but he does it anyway. He likes the woman at Register 4 but everyone says she's ugly. He doesn't have any interest in politics, but the Mayor wannabe, Rand Sleeman, will do whatever it takes to get his vote. Rocko lives a quiet life and likes it that way but doesn't seem to know why he likes it that way. In fact he doesn't seem to have any purpose at all, and he's okay with that. But travesty begets travesty, forcing the simple-pleasure-seeking Rocko to complicate his life just a little bit more than he'd normally be comfortable with. "No Old Souls at Fury Tavern" is a story about the seemingly meaningless meanderings of the dredges and sloths of society who exist in the background and behind closed doors, the denizens who populate the barstools at Fury Tavern, and more importantly, the very soul of Fury Tavern itself.
