THE MORNING AFTER HE KILLED EUGENE SHAPIRO, ANDR\u00c9 Desch\u00eanes woke early. Before his headset warble ended, he rolled from the bed and landed palms-down on the deck of his bedroom. <\/p>\n

He slept in loose white trousers; nudity implied vulnerability. The raw breeze through the long windows above his bed roughened his shoulders, scalp, and nape. A clap punctuated each push-up, and he followed the set with five sun salutations to warm up and release his muscles. <\/p>\n

He dressed and skinned and was out the door in minutes. <\/p>\n

His footfalls chased him through the leaden morning. Roaches and rats scattered before him: humanity\u2019s companions all the way to the stars. The air was thick with the promise of rain; Andr\u00e9\u2019s skin steamed before he\u2019d run five hundred meters. The tide was in, the streets riding high on the pilings, and though he ran through a commercial zone, his filters held. Just one pop-ad penetrated, and he squelched it with an eye-flick. <\/p>\n

In Andr\u00e9\u2019s neighborhood, the streets were wood slat, floating piers independent of the houses and shops moored to them. They echoed under his running shoes, a hollow thump-thump-thump<\/i> still unadulterated by other sounds. <\/p>\n

He might have been the only one awake in all of Novo Haven. If he lived on Bayside, he would have seen the fishing boats and tenders sliding gulfward with the first light of morning. But from here, only thin channels of bay were visible between the floating streets and under the bridges, and the dinghies and scooters and small boats were still moored by the various steps that led up to street level. He passed more shops than houses; above them on the flat-decked, seaworthy cruisers were second-floor apartments with lifts or spiral walk-ups, but the lower levels had shuttered windows suitable for opening to catch sunlight and the attention of passersby. Ladders and gangplanks ran down to the water, where small craft waited and taxi drivers read the news and drank their coffee. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
