Subway

He found himself paralyzed in front of the doors of the train, there on the subway platform, as if undecided of the next move to take in life.
Those few seconds between arrival and departure of the convoy, seemed endless in his mind.
The light of the wagon struck his figure as a kaleidoscope of bright sacred light of the nave of a cathedral.
However, he did not observe the passengers over the sliding doors.
His mind froze in time, dazzled by the flash of artificial light.
Shortly after the train was gone when he took the staircase to the surface.
