he felt that nostalgia feeling COM

A scene from his childhood came
back to haunt him. A vow he had
made tortured him. and made him

He continued his walk around

at his desk. making an EFFORT to
seat himself and continue his
work. only to sigh and go on with

Only the sounds OF traffic could
be heard. with an occasional sharp
click OF footsteps of some OF the
