You’ve heard the tale of The Big One or, as it’s sometimes called, Fishing Idiocy, so you know that Darnell Bunlap has a killer deck. It’s of stout redwood, bolted to steel supports that are, in turn, bolted into solid coastal rock, and the deck itself protrudes (‘perilously,’ if you want to insert yet another hackneyed novelist’s phrase here…and let’s not even open the can of literary worms for ‘hackneyed’ right now) out over a sheer cliff, giving Darnell the best off-deck fishing anywhere. But so far, you haven’t heard a word about his house.
