      Rashid

      The Lebanese restaurant and bar, Al-Diwan, was a place where strange characters would appear from time to time. No one knew this better than Rashid, the bouncer. The bar was located between the docks and the warehouse district and besides the regulars, sailors and lonely weirdos would often come to drink a quiet glass of arak and ogle the belly dancers. As long as they paid up front and did not bother the dancers, Rashid didn’t mind.

      It was a Tuesday night and business was slow when a man walked down the road from the direction of the warehouses. He wore a jacket and jeans, with a bulky knapsack slung over his shoulder. He looked to be in his 40s, and the bouncer was surprised to see a thin plastic tube snaking out of the backpack and into his nose. The guy must have smoked ten packs a day since elementary school to be on oxygen this early in life.

      Excuse me, what’s the date today? the man asked.

      It’s September 5th, Rashid said.

      You sure?

      It’s my mother’s birthday tomorrow. I’m sure.

      The man nodded vaguely. Today’s Friday, right?

      It’s Tuesday, Rashid said. He was beginning to suspect there was more than just oxygen going through the tube into the man’s nose. You wanna know the year too?

      No, no, that’s fine. I’m pretty sure it’s still . . . 2008. Still, do you have the time, by any chance?

      Rashid sighed and glanced at his watch. 9:23. And fifteen seconds. You coming in or you got some more questions for me?

      No, no, I’ll come in.

      You gonna eat supper or just go to the bar? There’s a two drink minimum if you’re not eating.

      I won’t be eating or drinking, thank you, but I’ll go to the bar. Here. The man pulled out a fifty-dollar bill and handed it to the bouncer.

      Crackpot, Rashid thought as he pocketed the money and ushered the man inside. Some loser thinking that the dancer was his own private show. Sure enough, the man went to the bar and sat down close to the stage. He waved off the bartender’s inquiry and didn’t even touch the complimentary peanuts—just sat and looked up at the dancer.

      The man had good timing. Giselle was dancing tonight and Rashid had to admit she was one of the best dancers he had ever seen. The sinuous way her body flowed with the music seemed almost magical. It was mesmerizing. Rashid would have asked her out in a second if he wasn’t already dating one of the waitresses.

      The man with the backpack seemed entranced and barely took his
