Walk

There I stood on the corner of Queen and ready to cross Miller as soon as the light turned green. It was the dead of night and I had just gotten off work. I could not help feeling like a wanderer on an endless stretch of street and sidewalk as I walked the empty streets to my final destination. My senses were heightened as I made my way through the mountains of snow and icy slush around my shoes. So there I was half asleep and waiting for the light to turn green as I listened to the silence of the night.
“When will the light turn already?!”
An eternity seemed to pass and the light was still green. But then it happened. With my eyes closed, my legs started to slowly cross the street.
“What am I doing? Have I lost my mind? The light’s still bloody green!”
I frantically tried to stop myself with all my strength to no avail.
“My body has been hijacked by a madman!”

dude, the colors are still wrong. "waiting for the light to turn to green"
"an eternity seemed to pass and the light was still green"
"the lights still bloody green"
Either the first one is right and the other two should be red, or the first one should be red and the second two green (depends on which light you're refering to). Just a thought
