“An elderly woman stood in the grocery store staring at canned soup for almost twenty minutes. She wasn’t deciding what to buy. She was deciding whether anyone would notice if she didn’t come back next week.”

Another page.
“Teenage boy. Bus stop. Missed three buses. Said he wasn’t waiting for one. He just wasn’t ready to go home.”
At the bottom: “He boarded the fourth.”
