Andy: Odd Man Out

They never take notice of him.

When in the city, he walks among them as they all crash together, opposing rivers jumping the sidewalk banks, flooding into crosswalks and stores and taxis. He watches them, looks at their faces, and is met by the blank stares of minds drifting elsewhere, contemplating work to be done and what’s for lunch. They bump into him without apology, mannequins parading on the assembly line. In their world, he is nonexistent.

He doesn't mind, not at all; it makes it easier to kill them.

They don't even notice each other until the evening news.
