On the subway, the same place where he used to jump the turnstile and beg for coins, he is now the chatty middle-aged man in a leather jacket, thriving on the laughter of strangers.

Mike was in the control position that day, which means he was charged with carrying a spare canister of oxygen and a leather pouch of tools to connect the hose to the internal water pipes that run up the spines of skyscrapers...
