The Many Days of Artie Kronowitz (Day 2)

Day 2.

Artie woke up quickly and headed down the fire escape, rather than running down the several flights.

He saw the lady in question, wearing a blue business suit, he licked his hand and slicked his thinning hair back.

"Shalom!"

She turned to look at him, her beautiful nose bigger than he'd expected, she nodded, "Shalom to you."

"I'm Artie," Artie replied, his palms sweating. He could feel himself freeze up. Before he knew it, he didn't hear her reply. He could only watch as she lifted a brow and scampered off.

Social anxiety, back to the therapist's office.
