Rating: G
Notes: Prompt 11 - Chaos

At the end of the afternoon, Lucas left the Grid.  Some of Section D were heading to the pub, but he had no wish to join them, and instead joined the chaos of London’s rush hour.  He thought of taking the tube, but there were delays on the District line, and he didn’t feel like battling through the crowds finding alternate routes, amid the tourists similarly milling around.  He started to walk, passing commuters darting for buses, getting in each other’s way; pushing and shoving to get onto overcrowded vehicles.  Lucas didn’t mind the chaos, it reflected his inner feelings.

I liked that -- how a crowd that can seem busy and alive can seem... hmmm, on the edge of violence almost. Threatening and unsteady and chaotic. That we can see how Lucas feels by how he sees the streets around him.
