The Long Walk
Picture it if you will: I'm casually walking out of the mega complex en route to the bus stop. The weather couldn't be more beautiful. Sunny, a wee bit overcast, and just breezy enough for me to be happy I brought along my light, slightly oversized jacket. I'm walking, pondering if I should have a cigarette. I reach for my sunglasses, look up, and there it is. My bus. The last bus into town. Early. Of course, any sane person as exhausted as I was would have simply waved a hand and offered a "Meh".
This is the part where I remind you how not sane I have been behaving lately.
I sprang into action. And by 'sprang into action' I mean I waved my arms over my head and bellowed like a wookie wannabe at a Star Wars convention.
Of course the driver kept right on going leaving my sunglasses and my light yet slightly oversized jacket covered in a fine mist of what can only be described as the filth of the earth.
Needless to say I walked home. I could have called a cab. I could have phoned for a ride from YBJ.
Instead, I simply kept on walking dreaming up plans for my revenge tomorrow.
They involve eating massive quantities of chili for lunch and sitting near the driver on the way home.
