Picfic Tuesday Challenge photo prompt for August 20th

Hmmm LJ is running a little slow today, and took my a while to log on. Hopefully that will resolve quickly so you can all get on to see the prompt and start writing your crackling good fics.

It's hard to believe that August is more than half over! Soon fall will arrive, and the leaves will change color and next thing you know (at least here in the US) it will be winter.  I think I just made myself depressed.

So with those cold wintry thoughts in mind, here is today's picfic. Remember to use the tag Picfc for your story, and if you are unable to post tomorrow, you can do so next Tuesday.  Include your title as well as  the words Picfic and the due date in the header.  Happy writing!

Hands shoved in his pants pockets with his unbuttoned suit jacket flowing out behind him as he moved, many women (and a few men) noted his passing by with a short nod or a quick smile, some of which he acknowledged with a nod or smile of his own. But even the ones whose greetings he returned saw that his smile didn’t quite reach his eyes and not one person was brave enough to approach him.
