He is waiting.
The back room kept company. It is filled with heat and overhead lights. Tinnitus soundtrack. Ringing cut back by the staccato of the auctioneer outside. Ultraman is in the building.

The hammer falls, the book sweaty and the page gloss smells so much stronger.
“Sold”
And this was only one of many more to come.
The back room waits, the air conditioning thunders, and the cardboard permeates.
Ultraman is in the building tonight.
