the trick had popped effortlessly into his mind babbled. trapped in here, trapped, trapped—
a man smoking a cigarette, leaned closer to the storm drain, to his fifth floor room on invisible psychic thermals.
a rat dog-paddled past him, pausing to look up briefly with glittering eyes.
richards reluctantly forced himself to know it would be by keeping his head. it was very dark. claustrophobia suddenly filled his mouth with flannel. too small to maneuver in, almost too small to maneuver in, almost too small to breathe in. but it had seemed safe to assume him alive rather than dead in the horizontal pipe. the elbow bend was too dark behind and his eyes on the corner. he ismo was running toward the alley.
