I Alone
Surrounded by others, and staff in closer quarters.
An older couple stands behind us in line, and behind them I can see shoes of another lone man. We pay and take our tickets to the bench with us, where we wait a half hour for the train. At the sound of it's whistle, Chey and I heft our luggage up and join the line to board. Motion from the corner of my eye catches my attention, and I turn to stare over my shoulder into the face of the man who stole my wallet. He grins, bashful, and his large warm eyes meet mine. He is handsome, yet average, only his eyes and presence feel inhuman.
