		<description><![CDATA[Freddy was 20; he had been living alone in New York for almost three years. In all that time, he had not let anyone see where he lived &#8211; a roach and rodent-infested flat in Brooklyn, sparsely decorated, a futon in each of its three rooms.

		<description><![CDATA[When it came to unsanctioned pugilism, Freddy had been cheated. Though he had not been taught hand-to-hand fighting skills, received any training in grappling strategies or a hint of competitive spirit for such an arena, he did have one quality to his name that could occasionally prove beneficial in physical confrontation. Thanks to the irregular [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was 4:34 in the morning. Streaks of indigo were reaching from beyond the Eastern horizon to mix with the midnight blue still hanging over the Pacific. Two magpies were atop the neighborhood&#8217;s trees, calling out their morning duties. There was no snooze button to make them stop.

He was in a restroom &#8211; the type you would find in a restaurant or small office &#8211; a shitter against one wall, a urinal against another, a sink against a third, no stall or dividers, one door.

		<description><![CDATA[Cities are very much like the universe. Someone pitches a tent with a big bang, then another beside, and more until there is a camp; the construction rolls out in all directions on the compass, like ripples in the water after the stone was dropped.
