Top Hat, White Tie and Coattails

He wore a black top hat, a black cape and formal dress shoes. His spectacles were black, and his cane had a golden colored head.

He smiled and bowed politely to 2 women who had made eye contact with him, but no one else seemed to notice him.

The train doors closed, and he remained on the platform. Perhaps he was waiting for a friend to join him?

It was late, and I was cold, hungry and tired. I wanted to go home.

As the train pulled away, I wanted to run back and ask him what his story was.

I hope someone else did.
