Urban Weapons
Today, I saw a woman carrying her long umbrella on her shoulder, holding it as you would a spear you are about to throw at your target. She wrapped her fingers tight around the upper half of the stem. Lean and proud, she walked fast and looked like someone you wouldn’t want to mess with.

I lost my balance on the train and accidentally impaled a man’s foot with my heel. He winced, and I apologized. Little did he know it could have been worse. I was only wearing my comfortable 3-inch heels today.
