(my apologies to hong kong, singapore, mumbai and the other rising megalopolises).

dripping with goosebumps.

Peeking out from a doorway, I saw a smile. A quick look and I realized that the smile wasn't for me and it wasn't going anywhere soon. Behind the beads was a door with a poster attached to it. The smiling face might still be there.
