Four Foot Eight

Willesden Junction

A middle-aged woman sits on a platform bench. From a bag at her feet she produces a black notebook before unscrewing the cap of an expensive-looking fountain pen, riffling through the pages of the notebook and sitting with pen poised.

A couple of teenagers walk by chattering loudly, and she frowns at them. When a man passes by talking on his cellphone she slams the notebook and pen down and leaps to her feet.

"If you don't MIND...", she shouts, "some people here are trying to CREATE."
