Arrival

The first things I notice: the smell and the people.
One: The lingering stench of tobacco smoke hangs even in the non-smoking sections. You can't make it go away, because there are no windows and because it seeps in from next door. It doesn't seem to bother anyone else.
Two: The people stare at outsiders with a certain look of contempt. I smile. They keep staring intently... do they not like the way I look?
