First Sentence:
I was waiting for the bus on Canal Street near an old deserted brick warehouse suddenly I noticed a movement in the bricks on the surface of the wall as I watched the figure of a man appeared on the wall at first just a faint gray shape that became clearer until it was a whole man (but the face not very clear) a gray man in a rumpled gray suit he wasn't dead because he moved his arm as if he wanted to get my attention the passersby on the street didn't seem to notice him he was no one I had ever seen before did he want to speak to me had he been sent by someone who knew me with a message he lasted only a few moments then faded back into the bricks of the wall there was no longer a person there what did he want to tell me did he mean to warn me did he intend to say you too have appeared and will vanish don't hope for more there is no more the bus came to the curb and I climbed aboard.
