#26, Bryan.

Bryan worked in the framing dept. at Amsterdam Art. He was very large, wore tie-dye shirts and loose pants, and always had a painted-on orange dot between his eyes. It was his third eye. He smelled like patchouli and kept a picture of the Hug Lady on his register when he was still a cashier. Bryan was an extremely soothing presence, wherever he was. When my cat had kittens, we ended up giving him the middle kitten, a girl, who had long grey hair. She was my favorite and i was sad to see her go, but giving it to Bryan was the best option i could have wanted. He named her "Durga", after the Hindu goddess. Bryan, i miss your bear hugs!
