Something DarkA Story by LetemdangleI was going to write something dark and weird last night, but I was too exhausted and fell asleep in my chair in front of the computer. Sorry about that, for those who care, but I have a couple of scraps this morning. After having my truck towed to the shop, I had a rather lengthy walk ahead of me. I was hoping the tow truck driver was going to offer me a ride home, but he seemed rather indifferent. It was really cold and windy and I thought to myself, with my bad luck lately it should be raining. I looked up from the ground with a big snicker on my face. Walking towards me was a beautiful woman and when she saw me look up and snicker she flashed me a big bright smile. I thought my luck was turning at that point. The lovely lady walked into the bus shelter as I carried on. Just then a big rush of wind smashed into me, carrying on it's wing lots of cold rain. Great, God was toying with me. He must have a great sense of humor. While crossing the street, I see a car coming to turn, he has a big yield sign and I have a face full of rain and the right of way. The guy wasn't slowing down and I wasn't going to stop either. He sped right in front of me as I suspected and I laid a hard right hand blow to the rear quarter panel, collapsing it. The guy slams on his brakes, gets out of his car and yells, "What was that for"? I said with a grimace, "You had a yield sign a*****e. Shall I call the cops or do you want to"? Frustrated he fucked off in his new SUV sans quarter panel. The sun came out and a little further down the street I see a little boy run out to play on his riding toy. Just after him what appears to be his dad and in a weird kind of way marches past him to get into his car. Something bothered me about it, the way he just ignored this cute little kid having a blast on his riding toy. I said to myself I bet this prick doesn't even know I'm walking down the sidewalk and will back out as I approach the car. Sure enough just as I am about to pass behind him he starts to back out. One more step and he would have taken out my knees. With both hands fisted I lift them high into the air and lay a mighty blow on his trunk. The car brakes suddenly, the guy is literally freaked right out thinking he ran me over. I assured him I was alright, but he was going to need a good body man for his car. "What the f**k is that"? He yelled at me in a Middle East accent. I explained," that, sir is a reminder to pay attention to the things around you, especially your little boy." The poor b*****d was so ready to start yelling, but was completely dumb founded. It was beautiful. Having shared my misery with those who deserved it I felt pretty good. Teaching people how to drive in a punctuated manner is quite satisfying. I might take a long walk today to stretch my legs and share some more wisdom with those in my neighborhood.
