A few years ago, i was in a car accident.
Since then , i really don't leave the house that often.
It's difficult and the idea of seeing car drive by makes me fell lightheaded.
So,my friend showed me google Maps.
I was fascinated by the fact that i could see all over the world.
Almost like being there
I became instantly hooked.
I virtually walked down streets in china, Japan,Germany,England,so many places.
The faces of the people were always blurred to protect their privacy.
But it was still enjoyable to see them out there,enjoying their life, walking like it was no big deal.
One day when i was looking around Tokyo,i spotted a woman wearing bright red snickers,the same kind i was wearing .
"She must have good taste"i laughed.
I zoomed in closer and noticed her black pants,her gray bag she carried over her black hooded jacket.
She was walking in a relaxed manner.
One hand trailing the wall beside her.
I bet if i could have seen her face she'd be smiling.
I began to feel a little sad, i wished that i could be there ,walking so carefree with her.
That wouldn't happen though.
Till i died , i was stuck in this chair.
I sighed and zoomed out of Tokyo.
I turned off the computer and went back to bed.
I got up early and decided to look around Paris.
I randomly zoomed to an area and saw a street lined with old brick buildings and a few small shops,and an old tan brick church.
I spun the view around a few more times and then saw something peculiar.
Sitting on the bench at the bus stop were two people.
One of them was a young woman with her feet stuck in front of her in a relaxed manner,she was wearing those same red sneakers.
I was startled for a moment as i noticed the black pants and the black hooded jacket.
Her dark brown hair was tied loosely behind her head.
A gray bag sat on the bench beside her.
This is crazy i thought.
It can't possibly be the same woman.
This is a different country,a different continent even.
How could it be her? This is stupid,it wasn't as if these were live photographs.
They were taken ahead of time,and then stored.
It's not like she was in two places at once.
She could just be a traveler.
Besides,without seeing her face it was impossible to tell it was tge same person.
Brown is a common hair color,those read sneakers were something i purchased online,I'm sure a million other people did too.
