Subject: FFFBI Agent Nelson

Dateline: May 22, 11:54 a.m.

He takes the stairs: the elevator in his building seems to be having trouble getting off the ground floor today.

As soon as he gets into his apartment, he heads for the fridge: it's his normal habit. He has the latest in food technology, computerized to tell him when his housekeeper has added any of his favorite foods. He opens the door and the fridge declares, "You've Got Mayo!"

He closes it. He shouldn't eat any more. He tries the television. Food Court TV is on. Usually it's a must-see channel, but he can't face it today.

He picks up the local paper and decides that he will take the chicken's kids to the circus. A new circus, Cirque de la Lune, is in town, and he has been looking for an excuse to go. He changes clothes and picks his guests up. The circus has an afternoon show, and it'll take his mind off his woes. His sister can come along with her two kids. They'll make a day of it.
