I'm at Zoe Trope's book reading at Powell's and Please Don't Kill the Freshman has a new cover. Before I get a chance to meet her, I have to go to work. My work consists of trapping someone in a cage and eventually understanding that I can let her live. I can't believe the possibility didn't occur to me earlier. Eventually I make it back to Powell's but Zoe's gone. There's a lady in line who will die in a few hours.
