“A
scream pierced the sky, a child’s, so loud he dropped his cup, his right hand
ready to reach for a weapon that wasn’t there. A survival reflex from another
city, another part of the world. He tried to relax, but the scream had been
real. Not like the whining wail he loathed, not even the shocked cry of a kid
who’d just hurt himself. This scream had mortal fear in it. After three tours
in Afghanistan, he knew the difference.”

raced around, drinking and shouting out the windows into the night, finding

fear, went skinny dipping in Central Park Lake at 3 a.m., and found dark clubs
playing deafening EDM to dance to until we collapsed.”

suit and tie would be remembered and many people became guarded, sus of the
wearer’s intention. Guarded meant memorable.
Blend
into the environment; do not stick out.”
