A couple
of co-workers and I have been running over our lunch break for a few weeks. I
know your first question is “Why would anyone do that?” I don’t have a good
answer so let’s just move on.
Today we
had to alter our route because our usual path was blocked by a road crew. So we
turned right and took a way that led deeper into the
city. Here are a few of the sights we encountered:
A woman wearing shorts that were WAY too short,
a shirt that was WAY too tight and to top the ensemble off, fuzzy bedroom
slippers. The color of the slippers did match her hair, so, there’s that.
A couple standing veryclose to each other and
then suddenly walking in opposite directions. Pretty sure something illegal
changed hands.
See above several more times.
Two obviously high individuals attempting to
have a conversation about getting high. It wasn’t going well because they were
already high. Way up there.
A photo shoot taking place in the parking lot of
a small corner grocery store. I’m sure those pictures taken on a phone with a
giant yellow-as-the-sun concrete wall as a backdrop will get the subject the
job/date/blackmail victim she’s looking for.
Possibly saw a woman snort cocaine from her
finger while driving.
Ran past a building that may have contained 1 or
more dead bodies. All we know is a smell emanated from this structure that was
indescribable. There was no oxygen available to breath that didn’t contain this
odor that seared our nostrils and burned the tears from our eyes. Demons swept
from the building and harassed us down the block carrying the smell with them
like a burlap sack of rotting badgers.
We made it
back to work and decided the next time we turn left.
