She's Back!

I know you've all been worried, so I wanted to let you know that the Sitting Silent lady is back in her spot at the 7th Avenue and 9th Street stop on the F train.

She was there this morning as I went to work, back on her suitcase, with her cigarettes and her 2 Liter bottle of orange soda.

I almost hugged her.

Sitting Silent

There's a woman I pass every morning and every evening on my commute.
She sits in the subway station at 7th Avenue and 9th Street in Brooklyn.
Most times I see her, she is perched on her suitcase (she recently replaced her old red one for a black one), either napping or reading the paper.
She's a big smoker and loves soda. Usually she's got a two-liter bottle of orange soda or Coke next to her.
The labels are always stripped away.
Occasionally I see her writing in a little notebook.

Two weeks ago she went missing.

Then last Thursday I was on my way to work and there, in her spot, amid a pile of cigarette ashes, I notice a small sheet of notebook paper.
