Samuel sat on his favorite bench in central park. He had been there every morning for four decades. Reading people was his favorite pass time. People got used to seeing him there till a year back someone noticed he wasn’t around. He still read the faces he saw, the faces that couldn’t see him anymore.

The time she spent there oscillated between exhilarating and dreadful. “Last night was the scariest, I have had in a long time” she thought as she caressed the teeth marks on her wrist.
