“After a long bus ride, I found myself hungry and distraught. I only had fifteen minutes to find dinner, and the closest Dunkin had already closed. Out of the corner of my eye, a red Philly Steak and Pizzeria sign glimmered ethereally, like an angel who departed from heaven to bless the churning city. Pizza would be convenient and filling, I thought to myself as I turned to cross the street and headed toward the restaurant. A kind gentleman greeted me as I entered through the talk glass doors and ordered a slice of pepperoni. This request prompted him to remove a slice from the display and slide it smoothly into the cavernous oven beside him. Its warmth brushed by me as he closed the oven door. I watched the cars drive and people mosey by; all engulfed in the rush and clamor of the city street. Pepperoni! The gentleman suddenly called, as I turned to see the warm slice lying gracefully on a paper plate and napkins that he held. Thank you so much! I said, as I hurriedly grabbed the plate and headed to the door. Of course. Have a great night! He replied as I exited and headed straight back to Jefferson station. As I waited for my train, I savoured the delicate slice I held—the wholesome crust layered with delicate tomato sauce and exquisite cheese—adorned with perfectly seasoned pepperoni on top. I finished the slice as my train came, and boarded with a full belly and a smile.”
