Midnight at Penn

Midnight at Penn Station on Halloween is a sight to behold. John sat waiting for his train while revelers passed by his field of vision. His night was winding down; theirs was just beginning. Women were dressed in all sorts of revealing costumes that they would never normally wear. Men, drunk and silly, acted out as their alter-egos. Nearby a homeless man snored in his claimed corner of the waiting area. A couple of men in business suits slept on and off with newspapers in their laps. A woman read a novel with a shirtless man on the paperback cover. John heard an excited gasp and turned to see a girl in a Sarah Palin outfit rush towards the bathroom. She doesn't make it and ended up throwing up in a trash can. Her date was slumped up against the wall in a frog suit.
