I stepped inside the cell. It was like the second half of a book, tied inextricably tothe first by sadness and desperation and the evil that seems never to leave someone who has experiencedthe filth and horror of the streets. And don’t forget, these experiments and explorations have always been there as parts of thiswriter’s journey. But I can’t.

It was like watching them go to hell. I walked towards the painting like a flower pulled towards the sun. His wife, Katie, was always neat as a pin. That is peculiar for me.
