Description	He collects his lover. He has nail clippings, and photographs he has cut from magazines, and a ticket from the only tram journey they took together, to a late- night Chinese restaurant, where his lover was not recognised. After sex, when his lover sleeps, he takes things, slips them into his bag, a tee shirt that smells like his lover, underpants, a dusty aspirin from his toilet kit. His lover exists for him chiefly as a body in a sequence of hotel rooms. In his bedroom he has made a small shrine to his lover: his greatest treasure is a knitted condom, retrieved from a waste bin, with the cold remains of his lover's seed congealed inside it. Sometimes he does not see his lover in the flesh for months at a time. At night he watches his lover on the television. "If you smile before the commercial break", he whispers to his lover, "it means you are thinking about me. If you blink now it means you love me, you truly love me, and one day you will come out here for always." He buries his face in a tee shirt that no longer smells like anybody at all, and waits for his lover to blink. -Neil Gaiman, "Fifteen Portraits of Despair", Endless Nights.
