At Last
“Well, shouting at her.
“Lady! Are you getting in or not?”
Susan looked down at his thick, ruddy face and shook her head, looking around her, feeling completely lost and utterly confused.
“I need to walk...” Susan said, yet she just stood there, not moving a muscle, staring straight ahead as the cabby called her a few nasty names and took off with a squeal of tires.
Looking up at the bright, sunlit sky line, she recognized the tower of glass and steel that she worked in. She need...ed to go there. She needed to start work. She walked slowly as if in a dream, as if there were twenty pound weights on her ankles, toward her tower of steel and glass.
The usual blasting, shrieking sounds of the city seemed muted out to the point they sounded miles away. And even as slow as she was walking, no one seemed to be bumping into her, as if she really wasn’t there.
Maybe she’d fallen or stepped into another universe where no one could see her?MoreLess
