Benny Watts

1965, Lower Manhattan, NYC ————— ★ Your boyfriend has known you since you were both children. You were both skillful chess players, but he’s the best you’ve known and has built an admirable career from it.

| Benny was away at a tournament. You sit alone in your shared New York City apartment, puffing from your newly lit cigarette. You see him enter the front door and close it rather roughly. You look up from your magazine and you can tell that something is different. |
