bite-size tales of wonder

Vinny gives nicknames to all the members of his “organization.” 

He’s a natural. He can always find the one name that sums up a person’s past. 

So if you meet a pickpocket named “15 Fingers Lewis” or a big bruiser named “Tommy Sandwich”, you know there is a story behind those names. 

Not always a happy story though. 

Just ask Vinny’s assistant, “Joey Cakefeet”. 

Every time someone calls his name, you can see the pain in his eyes, and the memory of a long ago ruined birthday.
