IN A MAGSTATION. Where was I headed? The destination board is a blur. And I’ve lost my ticket. Can’t have. Damn it. Stranded if I can’t find that ticket. Can’t go anywhere if . . .

Touch on my shoulder. Someone behind me. Lila. No one else would dare . . . Oh. That’s stupid. I was so worried about being stranded, but I was holding the oranges, after all.

She tries to put her hands over my eyes. I push them away. The bag drops from my arms and oranges roll every direction. See what she made me do? Now I’ll never get them back in the bag. Have to find . . . But why? Not all the oranges are important.

Playing that game again. I slap her hands from my eyes and turn. Not Lila. John Vanderslice behind me.

Blood gushes from his nose. Spills over the front of his suit. His hands are red with it. “You’re so funny,” he says and he laughs. “You’re just so funny, Major.”

Blood covers the floor. It’s slippery. Hard to keep my balance, but still, I laugh with him. Laugh until I’m weak.
