tonight , at a bar a few blocks from my new apartment . her ears and eyelids were freezing , but after a block of climbing , her cheeks were flushed , and she was panting . he continued to cough and to gag and to lay on his side and eventually enough clean air entered his system . all in all , i was feeling pretty good . on the next week end he saw june and told her about the letter and that hed be leaving shortly but hed be back within a couple months or less for sure .
