As I walked, eyes on the ground, snippets of spots flashed through my mind. I never paused long enough to catch an entire memory, only a scene or two.

Shadows seemingly danced among the light, reflecting off the strip. I walked with no purpose, feet scuffing the ciggarette covered cement. Every now and then, my shadow would jump in the flickering light, coming to sexton top of a stranger's. It shimmered slightly, but of course they didn't notice. They never noticed as I observed their personal lives and memories. A scandal here, a betrayal there. They all start to seem similar after a while, but all the same, the rush of observing someone without their knowledge was the purest drug, one that I had come to rely on.
