Windows Chapter 1: The Man, The Girl And The Shadows 1. She sat alone, her white hair laying gently on her arms, she felt her breath on her knees as she stared, as if unable to focus on something too distant. They all hurried past her, not to avoid but it was their nature to hurry, they too stared, but had nothing to focus on. The city was filled with the smell of damp mud, thin drops of rain trickled her skin, and the hurrying people all stopped in unity, in an instant millions of black umbrellas sprung open,and soon they were all hurrying again. A pair of well polished shoes stopped before her, she looked up at the man, she made out the shapes of his face, his hat, and with a bit of difficulty his eyes. For a moment they were silent, unsure what to make out of the situation, it was then she realized that his eyes were fixed on her, this sent a chill down her spine, he was not one of the blind ones, she wrapped her arms tighter around her legs. The man took no note of her uncomfortness and sat down next to her, he followed her gaze into the distance, she felt his black rubbery coat against her bare arms. "what are you doing?" he asked. "I'm waiting" "waiting for what?" "for it to pass" "what?" "everything" The blind walks on, no ones knows where they are from, no one knows where they go, but they take their steps forward, while the ones who can see stays.
