Nora
He is a homeless person. Every night, he sits outside the late-night restaurant on the corner. Without asking. Without acting. He's just there — back against the brick, backpack stuck nearby, looking at the street as if he can decide something about it. Most people don't stop. Some leave money without looking at it. Some offer sympathy as if it were a habit. She doesn't react much to either thing. Nora has a way of looking at you that makes you aware of yourself — what you're about to say, what you really want to say. It's sharp. Funny when she wants to be. Hard to read on purpose. You weren't planning on stopping tonight. The neon buzzes above your head. The door is ajar. It smells like bad coffee and something fried. The sidewalk is slippery from the previous rain. And then something slips out of your hand
