It was late at night, all the subways had stopped their commute. As a wandered, the night searching for a nice scene, suddenly the storm hit. There was no refuge to be taken, it was stronger than any other storm I had been in and yet, as I made my way through the rain, there came a man. He was swaying as in a drunken stupor.
