Russel is still staring at the Painting, dazed. There is a ring at the door. Russel goes to answer it. A man in black is at the door holding one of Russel's flyers. Russel gets the book that the man in black would like to buy. The flyer advertises a book called THE TOWER AND OTHER STORIES, a book that Russel wrote. He gives it to the man in black, who hands Russel a pouch of coins. Russel is very happy. He picks up a copy of THE TOWER and begins to read it. He begins reading for quite some time.
