I could see flashes of lightning illuminating the city and all its dark secrets. I did not know then that one of those secrets would invade my quietude and make me consider the signs all around. Particularly, I would think about the sign that was not there anymore, the disappeared sign.

See, it all started at the restaurant. The restaurant, call it Anthony’s Fish Place to protect the innocent, had to make a change. This restaurant, well, it had a sign attached to its front proclaiming it Anthony’s Fish Place.

The sign, that damned sign, had to be changed. Not to mention the menu.
