I could see it on the pavement, I could hear it on the trees. There was no earthly reason why I shouldn't have gotten wet. I walked and I kept walking and I looked down at my shoes. Black leather, dry, not a single glistening spot. My pants didn't get that feeling, my shoulders kept shouldering. I was the untouchable, invisible man, some wondrous thing floating down the sidewalk. And as I started to wonder aloud how such a thing could possibly be, water crashed down into my eye, filled it up, such that all I saw was a drowning world.
