I grip my stick. Voices fill in my ears. This market is very crowded. At least that is what I think I'm in. I can only hear so many bickering about prices and about goods. It is terribly troublesome. I have no idea who they're talking to, or they could very well be talking to me.

I hear others around me. I feel like I'm in a school of so many fish. I can feel fabrics rubbing against me. I can feel people pushing me around. I should not have chosen this way to walk, but I can't exactly see the paths anymore.

"You!" A voice yells.

Is he talking to me?

"In the white mask!" He yells.

Oh. I guess that clears up my question. I turn my head.

"You look like you could run in the show business." I hear him come over.

"I don't. I'm just passing through." I turn.

I feel him grab my stick. I turn.

"Oh, come now, you have a fairly pretty mask." He says.

"No." I say again. 

"Why not?" He asks.

Several reasons actually. Some he wouldn't possibly understand. I grip my stick. I push it off of him. I slam it into his back. He falls to the ground. Just leave me alone. I'm on a mission already. 

"Thanks, but no." I lean to his face.
