She looked at the reflections of the faces in the window. She didn't know them; they didn't know her. For some reason though, it made her think about life...and how she'd spent the better part of the first twenty moving from place to place...never really getting to know anyone before moving onto the next new town. The moves slowed somewhat over time, but she kept moving along. She was old now. The last twenty years of her life, she had found herself finally settled in the same place, but she kept the habit and didn't really know anyone.
