Going on a Trip

Just Walk On By

I was strolling near the corner store in order to purchase some snacks and beverages en route. In the meantime, I inadvertently encountered some acquaintances. We exchanged greetings and subsequently parted ways. Upon entering the store, I sought to procure the latest Chocolate Almond Pocky and Banana milk snacks but regrettably, they were unavailable. Consequently, I purchased alternative snacks. Following this, I proceeded to the cashier's counter to finalize my transaction. A group of young women were audibly amused near an automotive contraption located outside. Observing through the window, I noted the emergence of four young women from a pink vehicle, while several boys observed them. Nevertheless, I refrained from involving myself in their affairs. Considering the late hour, I promptly made my way home.

Then I heard a conversation between the girls in the store and the guys about going out with them and getting into a party. The girls talked about getting into the guys' pants, which I found pretty disgusting. However, I have no time to lose as I need to get ready for work tomorrow. Later that evening, when I was heading home, I heard the same laughter and a car driven by the girls stopped right by me while I was walking. I continued to walk and ignore them as I was trying to make it home. One of the girls then approached me and said, 'Hey!' I was confused as to why they did that. They commented on my overalls, saying they were cute and such. I thanked them, and we ended up having a whole conversation about it and people in general.

I was asked if I wanted to join them for a drive and I was totally down for it. It sounded like a blast, so I was like, why not? We had an awesome time, just chilling, chatting, partying, and grubbing on some delicious food and drinks. While everybody was having a good time indoors, I decided to take a breather and went out to the porch to admire the stars. I wasn't in the mood for drinking since I had to be responsible for work the next day. And that's when one of the girls spotted me, just chilling on the porch, enjoying the serene view of the stars.

Then this girl named Ouellette came out and started talking about the most bizarre things, like how shooting stars have tails but fairies don't. I was completely baffled by her thoughts. I responded with a sarcastic 'Yeah, right!' and gave her a side-eye. Then she hits me with the question, 'Do you even like having friends or hanging out with them?' I nonchalantly replied, 'Nah, not really!' She looked shocked, her jaw dropping and her eyes widening. 'What? No way!' I reassured her again, saying, 'Yeah, seriously. I don't have any friends. I only have my job, my house, and my cat!'

Oh, and let me not forget to mention that her face was looking like she was high as a kite! I jokingly commented on it, saying 'Your expression is priceless right now!' She responded with a surprise 'Really, wow, bruh!' I sighed at the fact that I had to be around her, but secretly enjoyed her company a little.

I was like, 'Okay, let me hit you with a question!' Then she was like, 'Go ahead!' So I asked, 'Are you always that high or were you just born like that?' It was just a playful joke. And she sarcastically replied, 'Both!' Then she chugged her drink like a champ. We both cracked up big time.

During the night, we decided to sleep on the roof. Unfortunately, one of our companions became heavily intoxicated and passed out, while I stayed awake for too long until eventually becoming unconscious as well. To my surprise, in the middle of the night, something grasped my foot firmly. The sounds of grunting and heavy breathing resembled that of a gorilla. I attempted to defend myself and forcefully remove the hand gripping my foot, but my efforts proved futile.

It held onto me tightly, gradually escalating to grasp my leg and transport me to an unidentified location. Panic-stricken, I screamed and shouted for help, but an unfortunate encounter with a tree branch caused me to lose consciousness.
Upon awakening the following morning, I discovered the other girls were also unconscious on the living room floor. One was found on the couch surrounded by bottles, while the other had a party game on her back and toilet tissue on her face. Additionally, there was a stack of red cups present. It became apparent that one of the girls had remained outside on the roof, as suddenly heard a shriek exclaiming the disappearance of a girl. Immediately, the eyes of all the girls widened and they sprang up like daisies, collapsing to the ground in shock. One of them uttered a curse in frustration.

In the midst of the jungle, I found myself reclining on a bed of grass, adorned with a soft blanket, while clothed in a minimalistic fashion.
Upon rising, I observed the vibrant scenery through a windowless frame, revealing tropical avian creatures, serpents traversing the ground, blossoms adorning the branches, and entwining vines surrounding it all.
To my astonishment, I noticed a chimpanzee nestled within my bed, and through vocal cues, it commenced communicating with me, directing me along a designated path. Regrettably, I confessed my unfamiliarity with the utilization of vines. However, undeterred, the resourceful primate disembarked from the bed and deftly maneuvered across the overhead foliage and vines, employing the very vine in question, ultimately leading me towards a specific destination.

Overwhelmed by a mix of wonder and anticipation, I inhaled deeply as a sense of excitement coursed through me. Summoning my courage, I shut my eyes, grasped onto the vine, propelled myself across the arborous expanse, and clung onto a sturdy tree trunk. Filled with exuberance, I enthusiastically proclaimed my success to the chimpanzee, which continued its graceful vine-swinging prowess. Enthralled by its guidance, I eagerly replicated its actions, propelling myself through the foliage with equal agility.
