This afternoon I had some time to kill and I wandered into a large
Salvation Army-style store of used clothes and household goods called
Value Village.
It's a large store, three stories tall, in Seattle's Capitol Hill
district. I browsed through the menswear section and found a rack of
bathrobes. It so happened that I've been wanting a good terrycloth
bathrobe for a couple of years, but hadn't been able to afford one. (Oh,
the poverty of game design.) Lo and behold, they had several for sale at
about $6. Yay!
I found one that was just what I wanted. The detail that really put it
over the top, however, was a simple one: on the left chest was
embroidered the name SASHA.
So now I've got Sasha's bathrobe.
Any suggestions as to:
1) Who was Sasha?
2) Why was his bathrobe--in excellent condition--for sale in a
used-clothing store?
3) What happens to the person who wears it?
