The Street He Couldn't See

The test came on West Street in Manhattan, in front of a crowd of reporters who had gathered to see whether this was real or an exaggeration. Frank couldn't see the oncoming traffic, the curb, or the other side of the street. He had only Buddy's judgment, and his own decision to trust it completely. Buddy led him forward. Together, they crossed the street. They reached the other side, safely, exactly as Frank had promised they would. It was the first time most of the people watching had ever seen anything like it.
