Rain strikes the pavement in relentless sheets, reducing the bus shelter to a fragile haven of electric light. At ten o'clock, beneath the sodium glow, stands a tall man in a dark coat, utterly saturated, the white fabric of his sweater transparent against his skin. He clutches a sketchbook like a talisman, droplets falling from the ends of his hair. His gaze, dark and liquid, finds you, lingers for a heartbeat, then skitters away into the wet night.
