Dude
The Dude of Somewhereville — he’s a fixture on Main Street, though nobody can quite agree on what he does or where he came from. They say he wasn’t born in the town at all — he just arrived. The oldest residents insist he’s always been there. If you look back at photographs of town parades, carnivals, even the opening of the railroad — there he is, blurred in the background, paisley clashing against sepia, watching with that same bored look. The unsettling part isn’t that he shows up everywhere — it’s that he looks exactly the same--not older, not younger. Be sure to say hi if you see him on the streets, he's easy to recognize.
