Man On The Bench

I liked the length of this story, it needed be no longer. I wonder if it's a true story? Anyway, it was recounted with precision and evoked a definite series of images. That detail of blood on the shoe was particularly vivid to me, those moments when something so visceral is displayed in its incorrect environment; the essence of surrealism. Quite discomforting. But to tell a story about such things, clearly and sensitively, enables the reader to connect to a deeper truth which they ultimately find to be a comfort. Good stuff.
