Day 70: The Bookworm (Evening)
Studiously avoiding the reflective glass storefronts had proved somewhat difficult, whenever he actually acknowledged that he was doing so. There was a perfectly reasonable explanation for hunching his shoulders and looking down at the floor, and that reason was that his sweater was very itchy and he had to concentrate on his footsteps so he didn't have the urge to pluck at his sweater.
He looked away from the glass when he entered the store. It was safer inside, and he nearly breathed a sigh of relief, but he caught himself reaching for the neck of the sweater. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and glanced self-consciously at the front desk to see if whoever was there had seen, but without really waiting for confirmation, proceeded anyway to the shelves.
He was looking for something specific, but, preoccupied with other thoughts while he glanced at the shelves, he found himself standing in front of a section that held books on the paranormal. He frowned, his body half-turned to go, but he hesitated because he hadn't yet finished skimming the titles.
