Prosperity

His first two rides before the grand opening of Manhattan’s
new subway had been gentile affairs.
Proper ladies in feather festooned hats drinking tea and eating delicate
biscuits in one car, while gentlemen in tails smoked fat cigars in
another. Henry was sure the future belonged to steel. Steel would bring prosperity to those with
vision and a better life for all.
That was six months ago.
Today, on his third ride with paying customers, Henry decided that if
being crammed in with this sweltering clot of humanity was prosperity, he was
not interested. Then someone stole his
wallet.
