Back from commercial, the show commences with a sound-track of applause."

The Angle
In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.
"A sweet, balding, elderly man waited patiently, crouched on all fours, behind the couch. His skinny frame, with yet a rotund belly, cast a shadow on the living room floor. He would remain there until the pinnacle of our camp-out, when he would come slowly crawling towards us. This happened every night as my grandfather, Pops, would join my sister and me in our elaborate world of imagination as 'Smokey the Bear' There were always pears; Pops loved pears."

"The tiny black eyes of knowledge. That smug smile he had on his face. Everything about that picture pissed me off. Every time I walked to class that moron stared at me from his little picture frame.

The Angle

"The dull, silvery doors opened with a rush, whereupon I was attacked by the rank brine forcing its way up my nostrils; the stench clinging to and burying itself in the folds of my clothes.

Today is one of those lazy days and I don't plan on going home until late afternoon. I wonder how far out I can swim..."
