In this short scene, the protagonist, Pete, asks the reader if he's going to die soon. He's not sure, but he thinks it's possible. He sees a coffin in a restaurant and thinks it might be some kind of undead thing. He notices that the coffin looks like a man's head, and he notices that another man is also in a coffin. He also notices that a snake appears on a pole in the sky and that a cat master is waking up in a sweat. Pete asks the protagonist if he thinks this is a good idea, and the protagonist replies that he'd like to follow him. The protagonist says that he doesn't like anyone, and that if the man keeps going, it'll be his cat, who'll die. He says that the cat smells just like his old farm days, when he used to live on the farm. He hates the tension of the psychic standoff, and says that if he had a man with his skills, he could use him.
