    Summary

    Arthur pictures the cobblestone streets of Saint Denis, barely wide enough to ride two horses side-by-side; the smokestacks that rise out of the factory district; the men lying destitute at every corner and the ones sweeping other people’s trash from the sidewalks just to earn a living. When he imagines the sort of man who would find a city like this freeing, he certainly never imagined Albert Mason--the flighty little photographer, the man with a bleeding heart for the struggling American wildlife.

    Summary

    PECEPTION (SIGHT) [Easy: Success] - Ahead of you, Kim is stretching. The lean muscles of his bare shoulders shift as he bends down in a toe-touch before you start. His control over his body is unmatched. He straightens, adjusting his glasses, and starts running.

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT [Medium: Success] - He’s been holding out on us. This is a man with a fine physique.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Maybe this wasn’t a mistake after all?

    Summary

    For his seventeenth birthday, Kim bought the first jacket as a gift to himself. It was the real thing — twenty years old, with a slash at the neck, and a stain inside that could have been blood, or mud, or even oil. “Did somebody die in that thing?” his aunt asked.

    A life, and memories of other lives. Hidden inside objects and matter and waves.

    - The Eye In The Door

    This is what happens at the end of that day.
