Subway Story

I tend to get pretty wrapped up in the books that I read. True to my profession, I've always thought the greatest escape was a good book. You can lose yourself in a story and forget where you are or what's happening around you, immersed in this other, created world. I've found this to be an especially good trick in the dirty subways of New York.

Especially when a rat runs up to you and stares you down before calmly, casually deciding to go along its way. And no one else bats an eyelash.
