Stephanie walks from her apartment to the subway every morning on her way to work. During the summer, the sidewalks are crowded with fellow commuters and hawkers and a general hustle and bustle smelling of sweat and petrol.
There’s a viral eagerness that has infected the city on these days, and she’s one of the few people who’s immune. She’s turned off by the aggressive friendliness that so easily tips towards hostility. There’s too much skin and fake pleasantry.
It makes her wonder why so much of her life’s been given over to strangers and people she doesn’t care for.
