He quickly combed the vicinity with a disconcerting look, before diverting his gaze to a reflection in the dirty pothole below- his head looked like a medieval cowl-donning monk who had been transported to modern day New York through some evil sorcery trick.
The thought amused him briefly, but as he trudged towards the building ahead a faint trepidation crept in his heart, “Damn, doing the laundry after last night’s bar hopping was a terrible idea…. how do I avoid the boss today?”
