She walked down the street staring at the ground. One man, thinking that she looked upset, grabbed her by her arm.
“Are you upset?” he asked.
Without looking up she replied, “Yes.”
“I thought so,” the man said, and then he let go of her arm and continued down the street.
The woman too continued down the street. She hated walking on sidewalks. They were so crowded and there were too many cracks everywhere. Finally she made it home. When she went inside a man’s voice shouted, “You?”
“Yes,” she replied and hurried up to her room.
She got undressed quickly and crept into her bed. She needed a nap. She was tired. But before she could fall asleep the man entered the room.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
The woman didn’t respond.
“Are you upset?”
“Yes,” she said.
“I thought so,” he said, and then walked back downstairs.
The woman shut her eyes and tried to fall asleep.
“Are you upset?” he asked.
