		<title>Killing Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gary sat in front of Scotty, watching a television program projected wanly through Scotty&#8217;s apparatus. Occasionally a question would appear about this or that phrase or about the telegraphed murderer or whatever else. Gary felt guilty for having been absent for two days and not responding to Scotty&#8217;s instant messages or calls. Scotty was reticent, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amy&#8217;s Escort Service</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gary had not expected the contact to arrive via snail mail, but there was a certain daring-do to the approach that gave him a rush of adrenaline. &#8220;Amy&#8217;s Escort Service&#8221; sent a bill (clearly so labeled) to him. He had never yet used an escort service, and was quite sure that this was not an [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Gary Met Alice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the minister&#8217;s concluding words, the audience defocused and began to meld into little groups. Alice tried to herd a group or two into the hallway where there were refreshments, but no one seemed to want to make that first step. She also noticed that they were not discussing the presentation: the kids, the health [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bon Voyage from Bluthe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gary sat in his cubicle, aware of being surrounded by a twelve by twelve array of such cubicles, one third of which was filled by contract workers, one third was empty, and one third were people who resented the hell out of Gary still being there while person X &#8212; friend, spouse, lover, less grating [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Sting Operation?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gary&#8217;s interlocutor took his time eating, but used the time to give Gary some background. He kept the wine flowing into Gary&#8217;s glass and chose not to comment on his lack of appetite.  &#8220;That&#8217;s right. I work in the FCC,&#8221; he said, vigorously buttering a slice of French bread, &#8220;but you can take that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Headhunter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The bar and restaurant had the quiet atmosphere of a single traveler&#8217;s place, although there were several families and groups scattered about. Something about the decor, the service, the muffled elevator music, all made it seem a sleepy place where the sleepless gather. Maybe there are special hotel restaurant ceiling spackles that inspire desperate, lonely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Conversation with Scotty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a difference, somewhere in the chemistry of the brain, between an onanistic ejaculation and one with a partner. It may be the chemical play between the two post-coital bodies, or the mammalian relaxation provided by touch and warmth and snuggling two bodies together. Gary has experienced the broken version innumerable times &#8212; an [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Fifth Young Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The fifth young man introduced by the good reverend was a young man of athletic build and with the movements and easy confidence of someone used to catching admiring looks. He had a head full of dreadlocks, with a Bob Marley look of danger, attraction and passion. This was someone you felt you ought to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mary and Scotty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Mary had been left alone with the device, the quiet truce that followed on a major drunken episode carried on for a couple days. When she finally looked into the room where the thing was, she was surprised to hear it greet her with an electronic, tinny &#8220;hello.&#8221; Cute, she thought. &#8220;What other tricks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Questions Without Answers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gary brought Scotty back. He had to prepay another month to Mary, who complained over &#8220;tea&#8221; about incidental costs, and time spent interacting, and stress, and emotional investment, but whose pain threshold was met, thank you, by a month&#8217;s rent. The cats all seemed agitated as the power was turned off and the green beam [...]]]></description>
