"You bastard!" She spit the words at him--affectedly, he thought--and stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray, the cigarette she had lit only seconds before. It broke at the filter and remained smoldering foully. She tore out of the chair, one perfect leg as lever, the other springing from beneath her, her tailored skirt falling an inch or two down her thighs as she paced across the room. "Marta ... please." The note of pleading was in his voice that he had hoped wouldn't be there. What could he tell her? Don't make a scene. After all, he was leaving her. Didn't it deserve a scene? Thirty stories below them, an amorphous beast slithered across the sidewalk and began to ooze up the sheer wall of the building. It was constantly changing shape, something like a gargantuan amoeba. Although it remained invisible to the naked eye, several pedestrians, sensing the emanations from its presence, abruptly changed their paths and shied away. One man paused and lingered for a moment, inexplicably drawn to the monstrosity. She wouldn't answer him.
