The slow crossing — a room for one change

Original flash fiction · Invented characters · Ordinary travel notes

At closing time, Sana found the question still waiting on the table. Under it was a description: “A safe pedestrian crossing becomes a moment to notice the street.”

Sana did not have time to solve every question in the room. There was time to write one useful proposal: “Record one public detail while stationary and out of others' way.”

At closing time the following day, the question was no longer hidden. It had a place, a small answer, and room for a better one.
