On the way:
He's not going to make it, the man with the light khaki rain jacket and the long skinny legs.
The station is just round the corner and he has a few minutes till the train arrives but his head is bowed and his paces are slow and short, tentative, more than a shuffle but less than a stride, aided by the cane in his right hand.
But there's no cause for concern, he knows where he's headed.
He passes the parked van outside red-brick residential block, then turns in through the open garden area in front, takes one last drag from his cigarette and flicks it, still smoking, with practised ease into a winter-ravaged flower bed.
