He
parked
his
car
in
a
side
street
and
walked
to
the
embankment
at
the
edge
of
a
river
,
unsure
whether
he
was
gazing
at
the
Ohio
or
the
Mississippi
.
A
small
brown
cat
nosed
and
sprang
among
the
trashcans
at
the
back
of
a
building
,
and
the
light
made
even
the
garbage
magical
.
A
lone
seagull
was
gliding
along
the
river
’
s
edge
,
flipping
a
wing
to
correct
itself
as
it
went
.
Shadow
realized
that
he
was
not
alone
.
A
small
girl
,
wearing
old
tennis
shoes
on
her
feet
and
a
man
’
s
gray
woolen
sweater
as
a
dress
,
was
standing
on
the
sidewalk
,
ten
feet
away
from
him
,
staring
at
him
with
the
somber
gravity
of
a
six
-
year
-
old
.
Her
hair
was
black
,
and
straight
,
and
long
;
her
skin
was
as
brown
as
the
river
.
He
grinned
at
her
.
She
stared
back
at
him
,
defiantly
.
There
was
a
squeal
and
a
yowl
from
the
waterfront
,
and
the
little
brown
cat
shot
away
from
a
spilled
garbage
can
,
pursued
by
a
long
-
muzzled
black
dog
.
The
cat
scurried
under
a
car
.
"
Hey
,
"
said
Shadow
to
the
girl
.
"
You
ever
seen
invisible
powder
before
?
"
She
hesitated
.
Then
she
shook
her
head
.
"
Okay
,
"
said
Shadow
.
"
Well
,
watch
this
.
"
Shadow
pulled
out
a
quarter
with
his
left
hand
,
held
it
up
,
tilting
it
from
one
side
to
another
,
then
appeared
to
toss
it
into
his
right
hand
,
closing
his
hand
hard
on
nothing
,
and
putting
the
hand
forward
.
"
Now
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
just
take
some
invisible
powder
from
my
pocket
"
—
and
he
reached
his
left
hand
into
his
breast
pocket
,
dropping
the
quarter
into
the
pocket
as
he
did
so
—
"
and
I
sprinkle
it
on
the
hand
with
the
coin
"
—
and
he
mimed
sprinkling
,
—
"
and
look
—
now
the
quarter
’
s
invisible
too
.
"
He
opened
his
empty
right
hand
,
and
,
in
astonishment
,
his
empty
left
hand
as
well
.
The
little
girl
just
stared
.
Shadow
shrugged
and
put
his
hands
back
in
his
pockets
,
loading
a
quarter
in
one
hand
,
a
folded
-
up
five
-
dollar
bill
in
the
other
.
He
was
going
to
produce
them
from
the
air
,
and
then
give
the
girl
the
five
bucks
:
she
looked
like
she
needed
it
.
"
Hey
,
"
he
said
,
"
we
’
ve
got
an
audience
.
"
