 A group of men talked and laughed as they walked down a slowly darkening street. Each of the men carried himself as if he had no care in the world except for his own life. A young man held back from the group, though, and turned away as if in disgust whenever he made eye contact with a man in a suit (who looked eager to get to his destination). The man in the suit had gray and balding hair that never looks clean. The way he carries himself reminds the young man of a slug, and the fact that his face is always greasy does not help him look more human. The young man, in contrast, has brown hair that complements his grey flecked brown eyes. He carries himself with an air of regality that never seems pompous, simply natural.
