Not that it's entirely fictional. I was watching the way the man's face changed in anger, and he happened to be standing in front of a window so it was a small stretch to imagine I was seeing him through broken glass. He also had his fist raised as if to punch the glass in rage, but he didn't. I imagined the scene as if he had not restrained himself.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-17992882479689807952011-08-26T07:36:42.016+10:002011-08-26T07:36:42.016+10:00I am glad that this image was metaphorical for you...I am glad that this image was metaphorical for you.
