Time: around 6:00pm
Location: Union Tpke subway station
Objective: I am waiting for the train to come. There many people around me waiting for the same thing. The cement I am standing on looks dirty, filled with chewed gum and questionable stains. Yellow strips are painted at the edges of the platforms and the columns are a muted navy. The tracks are littered with the usual trash and roaming rats. The smell of sewer in pungent and the strips of lighting are dim and warm.
Subjective: Waiting on the platforms for the subway is visually quite grim and muddy-looking. Although I usually prefer warm dim lighting, the lighting just adds on to the uncleanliness and griminess of the station. I usually overlook this because of all the interesting people or performers that also fill up these subway stations, but on a empty day like this one the subway station seems depressing.
