I'm late. I glace at my leather wrist watch. Crapnugget! It is a quarter past two! Out of all days to be late, it has to be today. Sighing from frustration I notice the cabs and cars zooming by.I try to call a cab. The city feels more congested than it usually does. I look around and see that both men and woman are on thier smart phones, mostly business executives. These fine breed of white collars pass by, with little or no awarness to the world around them.
I give up on the cab and start at light jog . A man with a large beard and clothes to big for him, sits in the corner with a sign saying "Will work for food." I stop my jogging and start walk towards him with a shy smile. When he acknowleges me, he smiles back a kindly. One I was not expecting and I finally got to see his facial features. He looks like he is in his late thirties, with a thick brown beard and light blue eyes that show such saddness but the slightest hint of hope. I grab my messenger bag and search for my lunch. "I am sorry it is not much but please take this and enjoy." I say to him kindly. The man gladly takes it, his eyes turn a darker shade as he ravashes the food I gave him. He must have been very hungry. I reach into my pocket and grab some singles and a five dollar bill and place it next to him. I smile at him once more and our eyes meet. His looked like he wanted to say 'thank you'. I put my hand up to silence him. "Don't worry about it. Just enjoy, kay."I glace down at my watch. Crap. Monkeys. I wave at the man and begin to jog fast. I can't be late.
By the time I see the World building , I am sprinting. I clench my messenger bag tightly to my chest and taker a montal note. ' When in sprint make sure to wear a belt.' The building is so close. Just one more street to cross. I run across the street and see a red volvo from the corner of my eye. A loud screech from the friction of brakes on tires ringing in my ear. I blink rapidly and the bumper of the car (grazes) my thigh. " Oh shit. " I say under my breath. My heart is almost beating out of my chest and my breathing is uneven. I was almost road kill. Holy crap. I turn to see my assaliant and slam my fist on the hood of the car.
"HEY! DOUCHE BAG!" I yell at the figure in car. I can't make out she/ he features and i dont care to. "Watch.Where.You.Are.Going" I say each word like venom and simutaneously kick the car's bumper. Hopefully leaving a nasty dent.
As I leave, I catch a glimps of the startled figure. He is a darked haired man. Irritated, embarrassed, startled and..OH NO LATE!!! "CRAP!" I run into the World's building forgeting to take the mans information.
