The dead-ended street She stood in the middle of the street‚ where the wind washed on the sighing pavement with a hollow sound at midnight. Her empty eyes saw straight through the bleary neon lights flickering on and off the street signs. She looked and saw nothing‚ gulping in cleansing‚ scouring draughts of air.
