A book floated down the Amper River. 

     A boy jumped in, caught up to it, and held it in his right hand.  He 

grinned.

     He stood waist-deep in the icy, Decemberish water.

     "How about a kiss, Saumensch?" he said.

     The surrounding air was a lovely, gorgeous, nauseating cold, not

to mention the concrete ache of the water, thickening from his toes to his hips.
