Crosswalk

I work on the second floor of an old building on a busy street. I have a splendid view of the CVS and their vast parking lot. I saw the old lady with her walker poke out into the traffic lane. She retreated then tried again. I ran down the steps. Like some hero of old, I bolted deer-like across the street and helped her cross. Several drivers would have run me over for sport but they hit their brakes for the old lady. The barbers in their shop gave the old lady … and me … a hearty thumbs up!
