It remains only to be told how our hero grew up and died.
Let it also be told about his physical person, how he drifted
from one career to another and this account can quickly be

be said.
To begin, he was a tall man and except for one particular
feature, was reasonably average in a great many ways. His
legs hung down on both sides, acuminating in two feet of
no particular distinction. His arms were perhaps thinner
than he would have wanted, as also his neck, ankles, and his
reengineered dog, a honey-colored creature purchased at great
expense from a nearby biogenetical laboratory (now shut
down). But primarily it was our hero's face (because it was pale
and broad and box-shaped) that drew the little bit of attention
that sometimes came his way. In fact, it was even worse than
that, resembling, as it did, that of a squid, or the flywheel of
an old-time escrubilator, those with the several holes that had
been designed almost as of set purpose to simulate a nose and
shrunken mouth. Seen in full sun, it looked, that face, like a
slate that had been wiped clean and then redrawn in a faint
