There are three roadsigns in the lefthand corner that read “One way, End One Way” and “No Turn on Red.” There are taller buildings behind the brick building. There’s also a flight of stairs beside the red brick building that are painted red and blue.

“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign…” Jan kept the beat on the steering wheel as he sang along with the radio.
Rochelle looked up from her research for her next Friday Fictioneers story on her iPhone. “What would we do without road signs?”
“Do I sense a history lesson?”
“The first two drivers in Detroit collided. Perhaps if there’d been signs their tragic deaths could’ve been prevented. By the 1920’s standardized road signs were developed. Of course they don’t prevent every accident, since people don’t pay attention. Speaking of…uh honey?”
“What now?”
“You’re going the wrong way on a one-way street.”
