Opening paragraphs..................

 

Skye and Henry stood on a corner of Union Square on a fading San Francisco afternoon in early June, the occasional odor of popcorn swirling through, trying to busk up a few dollars.  Skye saw the devil go by in his black '85 T-top, crooked smile, ponytail, twisty little braids in his beard.  His skinny blond girlfriend sat beside him, tats running across her bare shoulders like grapevines, front teeth filed to tiny sharp points.  Skye turned away, a chill running down her back.
