Something Very Good by Jill Ellen

I sat on the stairs of the Art Institute of Chicago and waited.
I watched.
I pondered:
What counts as something 'fantastic'?
I found it.
A woman had a bag of groceries from the nearby Walgreens was crossing and dropped her bag, her groceries scattered. One. Two. Three people stopped to help her collect her items. As quickly as they had stopped to help her, they had vanished. Strangers melted back into the masses, and the woman continued on with her dented produce with a smile on her face.
Fantastic.

+5 for the art institute. Are you going to Journey!?
Journey to the End of the night Chicago May 12th
The order is attempted this task a number of times. It has proven unwritable, the things that happen to awesome to adequately put into words.

Ugh, Dan I wish I could, but I'm out of town for the weekend.
