Autumn

Waiting under the street light patiently, his hat placed snugly on his head the wind begins to blow. The street sign swings back and forth then soon the rain begins to fall. Water drips from the brim of his hat he remembers as he steps into the city bus it’s the third week of Autumn.

Flash Fiction Friday 55 is a story written in exactly 55 words.
Let the G-Man know if you write one GMan's Place
and read the ones of your fellow writers.
