no escape

Panel 1: Sara arrives at the bookstore; the door dings as she enters.

Panel 2: Ray's sitting at the desk; Sara stops by and says, "Sorry I'm late... some guy collapsed on the train." Both of them are holding coffee mugs.

Panel 3: Ray, says, kind of smiling, "Always something with the train, huh?"

Panel 4: Sara, pushing a cart full of books, replies, "I don't even need to make up stories."

Panel 5: As Sara's putting some books on a shelf, Ray's voice comes from elsewhere: "Hey Sara, can you come here?"

Panel 6: At the desk, Ray hands her a slip of paper, saying, "Can you check in the back to see if this has come in yet?" She replies, "Sure."

Panel 7: In the back room, Sara stands at an open shipping box, holding the slip of paper (that on one side is a flyer for Andrew's book) in one hand and a book titled "Voids" (which of course *is* Andrew's book) in the other. She talks to the book: "Well, Andrew, it seems I cannot escape your book..." She's standing in front of a poster that says "Read Banned Books."
