A Strange Feeling
When she first spotted the man, she did not stop. It was evening and she did not want to be out longer than necessary. The image of that man with a basket full of barking dogs, dressed in an old raincoat, remained etched in her mind.
She could not describe the way the incident made her feel. It was an odd and bleak vision, yet it also stirred feelings of affection and sympathy in her. She had no idea that their paths would intersect once more.
