The Crying Girl at the Bus Stop

I walk past a bus stop. It's a beautiful spring day and to my left is the Mediterranean sea.

A pudgy, dark-skinned Israeli girl in her twenties is taking out a pack of cigarettes and as I walk by her, I see tears streaming down her face.

Her heart must be broken in one of the thousand and one ways our fragile human hearts can be broken. I hope she has gone home and talked to her mom or her best friend, and that soon, she can smile again.
