John was a pretty smart guy. He knew there are no ghosts and no carma because there is no soul, at least not in the sense most people think of when they hear the word'soul'. He was n't religious, but every time he caught an evangelist on TV, he stopped clicking through the channels, and for a few minutes admired him or her. He watched their expensive watches and suits. He envied their air of self confidence, and their apparent ability to make money out of thin air just with their tongues. 
 
 The car he got out of was well under his means - a second hand Subaru. But it was a powerful, reliable, beautiful machine, and he paid for it entirely with cash. John was n't the type to buy a flashy sports car, nor did he care that someone else had used it. He planned on buying a BMW when he advanced in his career, because of the prestige that would bring him. On his wrist was a 2500 $ Omega, not because John enjoyed spending that 2500 $, but because it showed that he can afford spending 2500 $ for no practical purpose. 
 
 He went into the coffee shop, and passed a chubby woman reading her horoscope. He knew people reading horoscopes were stupid, but he was smart enough not to tell them his opinion. 
 
 He asked for a coffee. Black of course, no cream or sugar. And then he saw her. She wore her hair in an unusual color, she had a big tattoo from her neck, going down to her arm, maybe detouring to her back. She was peeling an orange while reading a book, and drops of juice occasionally stained the pages. 
 
 He was getting late for a meeting. He hesitated. 
 
'Hi, I'm John.'
