I was walking downtown on Penn Avenue past the Nurses Uniforms
shop when I saw her. She was coming out of the hardware store and I
thought it to be peculiar that she was singing a cheerful song. The
world had just gone to hell, literally and by god, she was singing! She
was actually singing. “Hey!” I found myself shouting at her. “Wait!”
Stopped
for a second, a look of surprise on her face. Probably just as
surprised as I was that there was anyone else left in this foolish
world, I decided. But instead of greeting me, she suddenly darted like I
was the devil himself, running down Laurel Street and heading Straight
for the old video store. I let out a heavy sigh and ran after her.
