| Paratext Text | for Seanie Lambe |
| Notes | Unspecified context, a man encounters a girl and pays her for sex, but the "payment" becomes something more symbolic as well. The girl talks of men in uniforms, and is associated with execution squads and bombings. From The Man Who Was Marked by Winter (1991). |
