The guys started a garage band, but they had no access to a garage, so they rehearsed in the house and jokingly called themselves the Living Room Four. The drummer’s girlfriend changed it to Living Room Floor. The living room floor was where they were all found, unconscious, after the gas leak that could have blown the place up, but didn’t. Everyone recovered fully, but the experience was unnerving. They suspected sabotage by a music-hating neighbor, but the city inspector said the old pipes had simply cracked under the stress of an already-faulty foundation further weakened by months of excess vibration.
R.K. West left a good job in the city, sold everything, hit the road, and ended up living next to the mighty Columbia River. West's writing has appeared at Mobius: The Journal of Social Change, Right Hand Pointing, Bright Flash Literary Review, 101 Words, Six Sentences, and others.
