one; Precautionary



"It's just for precaution," she said, and I really wanted to believe her. She said she'd passed by that same sign every day for years. Nothing terrible would happen, what was I obsessing over? She walked away. I memorized the number of steps from the metro exit to the sign.

Can never be too careful.

I started taking the long way to work, just to pass by it. Just to make sure that somewhere in the number of steps from the metro to my job and from my job back to the metro, there was at least one safe place.
