e-mail number C3POR2D2. maybe i could liven up the events that have unfolded thus far.
it was bright out that day. not typical as the winter months had been harsh for us. we've just recovered from a flurry of snow storms (no pun intended) and have now just been able to stick our heads out of our homes. ready to return our lives to normalcy. all had gone well. the car started without a sputter or a hiss or a clang. gave it 5 to warm up. sat. christ. it was colder in there than it was outside. the air was sharp and my breath drew clouds with each exhale. turned on the radio. damn talk shows. i need a cd player. what's the point of talk shows on fm radio anyways? if i wanted to hear talk, i'd switch it to am. steering wheel was like ice. put my gloves on. i arrived at school as usual. an hour early. thought i'd get stuck in traffic. or something. but. nothing. eerily quiet on the way there. strange. got a good parking spot though. it was easy to spot that guy from a distance. he was the only other person around in his vicinity. he looked a lot taller when he was walking by himself. until he walked by the no parking sign. that sign's gotta be at least as tall as to my nose. his beanie was pulled down low. his head to the ground so his face wasn't seen. but. i knew who it was. that man. that guy that eluded me for 5 months. we were walking to each other. his head was still down but i was staring straight at him. i started walking faster. my breath was more prevalent in the air. that guy. thought he could disappear did he? thought he could keep running away? i remember what he did to me that summer night!! and now he's gonna pay!!! fire in my eyes, i was steaming. a locomotion without breaks. running over the cattle on the railroad tracks. i was upon him. i threw my arm up into the air, ready to strike. he sees i'm blocking his path and looks up. ha! the look in his eyes when he realized it was me. yeah, bitch! what now?!? i throw my arm at him. he high fives me back. where you been man? you still got my video? oh yeah, man. my bad. i haven't seen you around either.
