Mid Manhattan Library gets a...Cerbe-russ

Cerberus was guarding the doors of Hades, but Zeno did not know. He walked in blithely on March 07, 2010 with his little squash in one hand and his bag rolling, in another. The Cerberus demanded to have Zeno remove his...mask - a warm purple hat with face covers. Zeno refused for the reasons of health: immediate transition in temperatures can be brutal for a health undermined by stress, lack of nutrients and vitamins, incomplete and improper nutrition and long hours. The guard was ADAMANT; he even attempted to remove Zeno from premises of the library. Zeno demanded to speak to the manager. Guard called the manager and told him that there was a masked man in the building. The manager responded that he was going to look for him. As the manager was probably looking for a...MASKED MAN in the building, Zeno waited downstairs, thirsty, in need of the bathroom and with time limits. Finally, he had to resort for help from another guard, who tried to communicate with the first one on the subject matter, but who refused to communicate back and started to demand Zeno's library ID. Guard encouraged young children who just walked into the building to make fun of Zeno and call him a her, and ask all kind of questions about Zeno as if he was an inanimate object. The guard was told again and again to bring the manager downstairs. Arrived Michael Callazone (?...) said it was in the library rules to remove the mask from the head. Zeno demanded to see the copy of the rules and the manager sent Zeno to hell. He ended up the conversation by saying that it was in HIS rules to remove the mask, and followed it up by accusing Zeno of causing problems (there were previously two complaints made by Zeno about two patrons, one of whom was intoxicated and getting into an argument, and the other was touching Zeno inappropriately and claiming racism on Zeno's part upon Zeno's refusal to allow to be touched in a sexual manner by a stranger.)
Michael Callazone inquired if a squash Zeno had was food. Zeno said that it wasn't food. It was a fertility cult prop....Michael Callazone demanded to put squash in the bag. He eyed it suspiciously a few times but said nothing further.
