i 'd been down this road a hundred times ; it felt like it anyway , and this was n't any different . they used to be people and it seemed a shame to pass them as if they were road trash . her eyes were huge and deep brown . on this bright blue afternoon the sidewalks are busy . nothing unusual caught my eye , which made it a good place for a murder . with a lazy salute and a frown , he spins on his heels and takes off for his apartment .
