Deb Whittam’s forty-two word contest is all about film noir. I offer the following:
***
“Dirk Ackuddle, Private Investigator”, she said crossing her long legs and lighting a perfumed cigarette, “That’s an odd name”
“‘Dirk’ was my mother’s name”, I replied
“How about ‘Ackuddle?”
“Maybe after we get to know each other better”…
Potatoes and the Promise of More Potatoes 
I love film noir. I should have a go at this.
