The rain dripped of trees and umbrellas, splashing into puddles as people queued. There was a chatter of voices, rustling from clothes, cars driving passed and an angry raven squawking close by.
I waked by and wondered why there was a queue. I was too shy to ask so kept on walking. The line was long but when I got the front, I still couldn’t see what they were waiting for.
I hoped it was nothing important. Had I missed some voting day or celebrate visit or grand opening day?
No….They were queuing to get Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks!
