An act of kindness

I was running to catch the train today - I was cutting really close.  As I ran, I saw a man sprint past me up the stairs.  I saw that man again when I reached the top of the stairs.  He was standing with one foot on the train, one foot still on the outer step, hanging out of the door and waving to the conductor to have him wait those last seconds for me.

As soon as I appeared on the platform, he disappeared, the conductor let me on the train, and the doors swooshed shut behind me.

Thank you, man on the stairs.
