When Don Q looked at the window that Vanza kept having repainted on the wall, he shouted at the clouds, and they never shouted back. Often, tears would fill their eyes, and they would say, "Thank you, sir." But one day, when Don Q was shouting and putting his cards on the table, it wasn't the clouds; it was Sky Man. Tears did not fill his eyes, and he said, "I'm not playing cards." Vanza looked at the window and said, as he'd said before, "I really don't care." Later, Don Q laughed. "This is going to be great television." But Elephant, Macaroni, and Schmerz had already taken Sky Man's side. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 1 March 2025)
