Essay of Observation
He stands against the pillar, his eyes closed, and breathes in the cold air. The sun is steadily rising, its rays warming his face, taking the chill out of the January morning. He turns even more towards the sun, basking in its warmth. At this unguarded moment, he has not a care in the world. He is oblivious to the world, oblivious to the girl on the bench steadily watching him. Beneath his black Bear jacket, he's wearing a red long-sleeved Polo shirt, dark blue Polo jeans, and mustard-colored Timberland boots.
