We sit side by side, neither of us bothering to even glance at the other. No words are spoken between us. I pause in my reading to consider the stranger next to me. I can feel his presence there.

I've done things in my life that are not at all admirable or perhaps even reprehensible to some. I think most of us have. But if you really feel the need to like the person you are reading about, then seriously, pick a different story. This one is not for you. I am going to be honest and real and I have found that tends to not make you many friends.
