Well, there's an emptiness in the pit of your stomach that no food to remove. There's a coldness about people's faces that make you shudder, and you're doing silly things when you're lonely. Maybe that explains what happened to me.
Maybe. Anyhow, I was hanging around the shooting gallery in one of those Broadway Penny arcades that night, one of those places where you can play a game of chess that your fortune told have ten shots at Hitler all fifteen cents, I was alone as usual, thinking the dull, drab, dreary things a guy thinks about when he's alone.
And suddenly an old man standing next to me said, Well, my aim is not what it used to be. Oh, got to match my mind. Match? Oh, sure here. Oh, thank you. You haven't by any chance got a cigarette to go with that match have you, son?
Of course you take one. Thanks again. You know, with cigarettes so scarce nowadays, the only way a gentleman gets a smoke is to buy himself. Yep. Thank you, thank you. Ah, it's not a kid.
