His head is down and his long black hair covers his face. His knuckles are almost white from the grip he has on the hammock. The hammock hangs in front of a door way about four feet off the ground.

Panel Two: A shot of the room from the man's point of view. The room is about 14 feet by 12 feet big and the only light is from the window on the left side of the room. Straight ahead is big desk with a computer on it and a single picture frame. Behind the desk is a window with a fire escape blocking the view of the street. To the left of the window is filling cabinet with a coffeepot on it. Above the desk, in the right corner, is a TV hanging from the wall. In the left corner of the room at an angle is couch with a blanket across it. From the side window, we can see the city as the moonlight spills into the room.

To the man's immediate right is a dresser with a huge picture hanging above it. The dresser is covered with cans of food and cereal boxes. To the man's immediate left is a small cubby divided into six sections with shoes in it. Three of the sections have men's shoes and two of the sections have little boys shoes in them. A little further to his left is a bookcase filled with textbooks, encyclopedias, and dictionaries.
