He moved his hand over his face the way a man does after he shaves. His hand moved slow, unsure of the terrain. It was as if his hands had never touched his cheek before or pinched his lips. His eyes were black pits and sunken in like damaged potatoes and his body thinner than he ever remembered. His hands patted down his hair and brought order to where distress roamed. The sight disappointed him, an ugliness had surfaced. - Is there no remedy? - Guy said. Pomegranate is a roman a cle which is French for novel with a key - a novel about real life, overlaid with a facade of fiction."
