He had taken the bus into +town to check out a few books on woodworking and got distracted by the True +Crime section. He found this mugshot in a book titled _Crooks like Us_ that +was published in Sydney. He liked how cities were named after women, or how +women were named after cities, whichever was true. + +The man in the picture's eyes were tightly shut, as though he'd just come into +the brightness of day after being dark inside for a long time. His head was +tilted up and slightly to the right. He was wearing a short light tie with +hash marks, and a pinstripe suit. Paul wished the photograph was in color. +He was standing in front of a plain brown wall covered in fabric. + +The man's eyes were not so tightly shut as Paul first thought. His eyebrows +lifted away from the eyes, giving the man a bemused look. His mouth was +slightly opened in what seemed to Paul like a grin. This was accentuated by +the man's ears, which were large. Paul wasn't sure why the ears made the man +look happier. He wondered what crime he had committed. + +Above the man's head was written _T. BEDE.22.11.28 / 203 A_. _THIS MAN +REFUSED TO OPEN HIS EYES_ was written over his suit, directly below his +ribcage. -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
