It was morning in early winter and I still had on the jacket they’d given us when we took the championship—a red and green jacket with leather sleeves and a football-shaped emblem sewn on the back telling what we’d won—and it was making a lot of the Negro girls stare? No tracks on the ground but the ones he’s making, and he sniffs in every direction with his cold red-rubber nose and picks up no scent but his own fear, fear burning down into him like steam.) It’s gonna burn me just that way, finally telling about all this, about the hospital, and her, and the guys—and about McMurphy!
