Noir detective narrator: William

Noir detective narrator, smoky, weary, and hardboiled

Prompt: A low, smoky male voice for noir detective fiction. His gravelly baritone is weary and wry, drawing each line out like cigarette smoke, hardboiled and atmospheric. There's a rain-slick-city fatalism in his tone. The sound of a narrator who makes a dim office and a bottle of rye feel like the whole moral universe.

Script: She walked into my office like trouble that had finally found an address. Rain on her coat, a story on her lips, and about three lies for every truth. I'd seen the type before. I poured two glasses anyway. In this city, a man learns that the interesting mistakes are the only ones worth making.
