He’d done a good job.
Few people on the street. No traffic.
He couldn’t go back to that house.
He paused, remembering the early morning quiet of the street.
Not too much light in the place.

Streets like the one she lived on were no accident.
He was going to stand there until he got good and ready to go.

Perhaps that was why the universe was expanding.
Why, I don’t know what you mean.
