He beckons to someone, and a shambling tower of shredded overcoat and wild, long, tangly hair responds, passing through the vestibule. The pair wind through the crowd, the streak-faced frightwig being led by the tired-eyed one from behind, and they sit at the bar together. "I'm Daniel, and this is William Williams. We're from the State Hospital," the close-shorn one says, by way of explanation to a mildly wary Ratz. "I have William here on an evening pass, and he was quite insistent on coming here. I'm his psychologist. He's got what we call disorganized schizoaffective personality disorder with psychotic features -- but he isn't dangerous." William has been sitting placidly on his stool, staring straight ahead with great concentration. Just as Daniel finishes his introduction, his charge swoops out with his left hand and knocks Daniel to the ground several meters away, staring straight ahead all the while. The voice is a barely registered low grumble: "Fuckin' am too." --- # Daniel M. Rosenberg dmr@medicated.Corp.Sun.COM +1 415 336 6790 # Taos Mountain Software / Sun Microsystems / KZSU Radio
