Guest spotted Joe in the city. A man trudging along, dangling a plastic shopping bag. He looked like the kind of person who wouldn't just be a part of your daily life, but a stain upon it. Yet, for some reason, I couldn't take my eyes off him.

A man in a matching sweat suit, looking clearly unemployed and like a total loser. But his inscrutable charm hit me. A radiance shining through the darkness of his presence. I found myself captivated by him.

Hearing that, I immediately looked away. I tried to walk past him with my head down.

He approached me, his expression softening slightly.
