Writing on the Wall by L. A. Sykes

Have you ever read a flash story where the character dragged you into the story and kept you reading?  "Writing on the Wall" was like that for me.  I loved the character of the street cleaner.  He had no name but was very serious about his work.  I also wanted to know more about him, what made him the way he was.  Hopefully he will be developed into more short stories by the author, L.A. Sykes.  You can read the story here
