Before him, the square liessuffused with light. The calm, strange for this time of the day, is broken when as though dumped from an arriving train, a flood of people begins to traverse the square. After that comes the rain, after which it becomes clear that the quiet that came before was only the calm before the storm. <em>Alone, his</em> <em>bag slung across his shoulder</em> <em>he stares.</em> <em>The square lies</em> <em>suffused with light. Calm, strange day.</em> <em>Then the rain.</em></p>
