A get out with Scotty

20 Sept 2026 — 1 min read

We are on our way to the Fresh & Go for a get out, a soda pop and cigarettes for Scotty, when he stops walking and snaps his head around like the hawks I see on my evening river walks, one that's just sensed a rabbit in the wildgrass. We are close to the Fresh & Go—I can hear the ads on the gas pump televisions far better than the echoes of the Aldridge Street dumpster. My apartment overlooks the thing, but Scotty is who's always in and out of it, and he's the one who makes some money that way, who looks back toward F Building and says, "Hey, we should hang out on your deck instead."

About the Author

I’m Andrew Morrisey. I tell stories, and I help people tell theirs. For many years I’ve done so with major media outlets. My work has appeared in movie theaters, on TV networks, in print publications, and across the internet.

I now offer direct interaction teachings in conscious creativity and creative services for people and businesses seeking to connect with audiences and customers. I launched this website and “Meanwhile”—my ever-unfurling serial publication—in hopes that you and I may more easily find one another.

In my spare time I enjoy epic walks, street photography, and observing the night sky, and I own a consciously small healing practice with footprints in Tokyo and Central Mexico.
