Moir Noir

From across the cafe, I could just barely make out the shadow of the chick that I'd never noticed before--I'd been conscious of her, lurking in the shadows before, but she'd been so good at being completely uninteresting (and given that I was usually zoned in to my games), it had never even slightly registered--her presence, I mean. It was like she melted into the shadows, and where she left off the shadows began in one long unbroken swath of black.
