• O. Henry (nonfiction)

• • Knows Judge Havelock

• Havelock - must traverse back before he risks dying "for real", after 1911 - traversing back he keeps his identity - dying "for real" he is reborn the early 1800's with only residual memories of his deal with The Custodian
  • But it's like quitting smoking, he knows he should traverse back, but traversing forward feels so good, and traversing back is worse than work -- it is painful work.

• Scene: Havelock Plays Russian Roulette for charity at Carnival Tenebre, a dollar a spin, to ransom O. Henry (nonfiction), or maybe for Mark Twain.
