  “I’m so sorry, Richard,” said Jessica. She was crying, now, her face contorted and unattractive. Her mascara was beginning to run, and her nose was red. He had never seen her hurting before, and he realized how much he wanted to take her pain away. Richard reached out for her, to try to hold her, to comfort and reassure her, but the world slid and twisted and changed . . .
    Someone stumbled into him, cursed and walked away. Richard was lying prone on the platform, in the rush-hour glare. The side of his face was sticky and cold. He pulled his head up off the ground. He had been lying in a pool of his own vomit. At least, he hoped it was his own. Passersby stared at him with revulsion, or, after one flick of the eyes, did not look at him again.
    He wiped at his face with his hands and tried to get up, but he could no longer remember how. Richard began to whimper. He shut his eyes tightly, and he kept them shut. When he opened them, thirty seconds, or an hour, or a day later, the platform was in semidarkness. He climbed to his feet. There was nobody there. “Hello?” he called. “Help me. Please.”Cheap Howard Basketball Shoes,Discount Howard Basketball Shoes
    Gary was sitting on the bench, watching him. “What, you still need someone to tell you what to do?” Gary got up and walked over to where Richard was standing. “Richard,” he said, urgently. “I’m you. The only advice I can give you is what you’re telling yourself. Only, maybe you’re too scared to listen.”
    “You aren’t me,” said Richard, but he no longer believed it.
    “Touch me,” said Gary.
    Richard reached a hand out: his hand pushed into Gary’s face, squashing and distorting it, as if it were pushing into warm bubble gum. Richard felt nothing in the air around his hand. He pulled his fingers out of Gary’s face.
