Tailgating a
fire engine. I pull on and off the
shoulder trying to make up my mind about what to do. The
cars behind are hesitant as well, following my
timid motions. Finaly out of
annoyance, I pass the fire engine and end up tailgating two more which turn off a short time later. It splits to
two lanes and I come to a halt at a
stoplight which is
red.
Sitting on the side of the road behind the
guard rail I see a group of small
children playing. They approach and say something
snotty, trying to
heckle me. I say something in return with an intentional
southern drawl, they are
perceptive of me
mocking them and run over to their
dad who has been sitting on the hood of a
beat up compact car.
Convincing him that it had been me who initiated the
antagonization, he
saunters over with them
in tow. He mumbles
incoherently about
givin me a lickin,
beatin my ass, and how
amped up he is on
ritalin. I
talk him out of it while uneasily eyeing his shaggy blond hair, unkempt
stubble, and
menacing demeanor.
Sitting on the
stairs of the
office building, I decided to
paint on the
window next to me. Once done, I started walking back up and passed a few people in their 70's. They must have
alerted the
police to my misdeed, as there were
blue lights circling everywhere when I made it to my
office and looked out the window. I walked down again out of
curiousity and the
cops were crawling all over each other sniffing and searching for
clues. I chatted with the people
mingling around and headed back up to the office. The police
knocked on all the doors and asking for information and assistance, I said that I really wished I could have provided them with some
help.
