Ain't seen this guy's stump around ever before. Pointed out somehow that brought to mind the cowboys, who sometimes shot from the hip or waist. The cut was either just above, or just below the knee. In either case the kneecap was no more, of no use after such amputations. It was possible the man could raise the stump like that, making it twitch for his appeals. Single crutch; little plastic bucket that could be shaken in place of words. Five or six offerings came from the front rows at Sarah, only a single coin among the notes. Myanmar cit was a wild guess, because of the oddity and all the news-reports. After a little confusion, Singapore Chinese, he answered, with awkward English and what seemed embarrassment.
