   Summary

   It is 1979, and Barty and Benjy discuss their shared pessimism for their futures, for the futures of other men and women like them. At night, they drink to intoxication and sleep in a tangle on Benjy's mattress, trying anything just to forget, to feel some kind of hope. Benjy gives Barty the silver ring, charmed to go perpetually unnoticed, and Barty gets Benjy a matching one in gold. Trading rings isn't much at all, but it's the only thing that Barty and Benjy have.
