SOL Tuesday: New York City Wildlife

            I was all over the city today, taking the subway six times. On one trip, as I was walking up the stairs from the platform at West 4th Street, something flitted by my peripheral vision. I looked back. Yes, it was a gray mouse, running downstairs. I think it was a mouse. It didn’t look big enough to be a rat, although I could see it from the top of the steps, so maybe it was bigger than I think.

            “New York wildlife,” I said to the young woman behind me.

            “It startled me,” she replied. She must be new to the city.
