Ants crawl up his arms from out of the bag, biting him as they explore his arms. He opens the bag of mangoes and is surprised to see that only one remains as he remembered there being more. He scans the ground beneath him for animals and when he sees that all is clear he puts on his bed sheet as a toga, places his Red Sox cap on his head, and hops down.Īfter urinating in a nearby bush, he checks his rations: a bag of mangoes, a half-bottle of Scotch, a can of Sveltana No-Meat Cocktail Sausages, and a chocolate flavored energy bar. Snowman calms himself down with a few deep breaths and scratches his bug-bitten legs. The lack of official time scares him as he notes that no one anywhere knows what the exact time is. He looks at his broken watch out of habit. From his vantage point, he watches the sunrise in the distance. Lying still, he listens to the sounds of the ocean.
The novel opens with Snowman waking just before dawn.
