Maria's floral dress swayed as walked along the street. She looked around her and sighed as the warm sun caressed her skin. The days were getting cooler and windy
Bicycles peddled by, stores entertained customers, mothers calmed their hysteric children as they walked by, a group of high school students chatted and laughed loudly. Maria smiled as she looked at the life all around her. It felt nice to be around so much vibrant energy. Maria winced as she felt her hand containing the bag of groceries go numb.
She sighed and moved the bag of groceries in her left hand to the right and picked up her pace. Maria took hurried steps and made a turn into the street on her right. Compared the other street, this street was empty and as quiet as a graveyard. The street felt like it was haunted, but that was slightly true.
