The Perils Of The New York City Subway
As a child, Jaime loved the subway. No car seats. Strange people. Traveling underground in a long tunnel. She couldn't wait to be old enough to ride into the city on her own.
She remembered how fucking innocent she used to be. Now she hates the subway. Especially the strange people.
Today for instance. The only available seat's in the corner. Right next to the cocoon. It's been growing for weeks. It used to be a rider, but now he's pupating on the D Train.
Jaime sits. It's not the grossest thing she's witnessed on the New York City subway.
