Writing Quickie: Late Night People Watching

And of course, my return to good health means the return of the Writing Quickie:

I sat in the darkness on my front stoop, watching as the occasional person or group walked by. The soft rubber of their sneakers’ soles still made a soft padding sound as it came into contact with the sidewalk, creating a sparse rhythm in an otherwise silent night. I pondered what errands or leisure plans would have them wondering along the side street I lived on.

Occasionally, a straggler would glance in my direction and see me. I would smile politely and nod my head. Most moved their lips as if to offer some greeting, but remained silent, apparently having thought better of it.

Give me pen and paper and I shall create entire worlds and fill them with adventures.
