As the train continued to move, I tried to focus on my book.
“You know he really began as a dramatist?”
I looked up, and the glare off his stupidly overpriced
sunglasses made me blink, but I had to respond.
“Who?”
“Dumas. Sure, most people just remember him now for the
Musketeers, and some his other works, but he first rose to fame writing plays.”
As he prattled, I put my book away and grabbed my mace.
“In fact, my drama club’s working on a production of ‘Antony’
that-“
I looked out the window.
“My stop.”
Saved by the buzzer.
(And thanks to Pete for this suggestion too!)
