r　was　a　little　longer　than　he

last　remembered　it；　and　streaked　with　strands　of　gold。　He　blinked；　wondering　if　the　chlorine　had

done　something　to　his　eyes。　She　was　standing　by　a　desk　that　advertised　custom…made　closets；

arguing　with　a　harried…looking　salesgirl　in　a　dark　blue　apron　that　read　CONTAIN　YOURSELF！　A

long　line　of　people　stood　behind　her；　shuffling　their　feet　impatiently　and　checking　their　watches。
