New York is a big place with countless people constantly interacting with one another. It's a noisy place; I don't think that it's possible to imagine the 'big apple' as anything other than a seemingly endless sea of skyscrapers accompanied by construction, chatter and other noise pollution playing a never ending orchestra. It's my city however, and I love it. I was born and raised here, I went to school here and I met my fiance here. Besides, you know that image that you just had of my city? It's wrong. There are so many places within the confines of this metropolitan powerhouse. Among them is my favorite place in the world - Central Park.
My name is Elyssa Smith, a twenty-four year old accountant who likes to take time after work to clear her mind. I manage that with my daily biking route from my workplace to my home. It's a routine of mine that I enjoy a lot - I take advantage of it before fall comes and goes, after which I'm forced to commute like everybody else.
"Hey sexy!" a voice called off as I scoffed. Yes, catcalls and verbal harassment were things that I (although I shouldn't have to) deal with on a near daily basis. Especially when I was wearing my casual outfit; namely, a top, denim shorts and sandals. Now I probably should have worn something else to hide my large bust...but I shouldn't have to dictate what I wear based on what perverts yell to me on the street.
Anyway, it was all temporary. I was biking past the busiest part of the park and it would be quiet (as I like it) not before too long.
