Body Warmer
She gasped as she saw the face of a stranger. She didn’t look familiar to him.
She turned towards the direction of the silhouette again, afraid that it would suddenly come close to her face.
“Who were you talking to?” The man who just came behind her looked in the direction she was looking.
“Him!” She pointed at the silhouette.
“Ah?” The man fumbled for his phone and took it out. He turned on the flashlight and aimed it at the silhouette.
It turns out it was only a sculpture.
She heaved a sigh in relief. She felt incredibly stupid for mistaking it for a person. She needlessly gave herself a fright.
The man chuckled, making her feel more embarrassed. “Talking to a sculpture, eh?”
“I--I--didn’t see clearly. It was too dark..” She bowed her head, hiding her burning cheeks.
“How long do you plan to stay on the ground?” He smirked at the young woman.
