Just Walking Home.

FYI:

The following events happened in approximately a 6-7 minute time frame.

 

Right after Institute on a fine Monday afternoon.

Veramitch & Ethel Ray headed home from a day of school.

Not expecting much they began to talk about random seemingly silly things.

after about 30 yards of walking & talking,

they approached the crosswalk where an acquaintance,

 

Acquaintance used far to heavily in this case.

We hardly knew this kid,

met him once,

in passing.

 

Was crossing the street the opposite way of us.

In the minds of us,

this is the perfect opportunity for what we like to call,

"Stranger Rodeo"

 

You simply pick a person at random,

jump on their back,

& ride them for as long as you can.

(10-15 seconds is desired)

 

Veramitch stops in mid-sentence, as well as mid-intersection,

drops her backpack on the pavement & begins to ride this kid.

While this is happening,

Ethel Ray is gathering up the belongings of Vera,

& people are witnessing this event with wide eyes & fancy footwork trying to avoid the fierce moving limbs. 

The light turned yellow & the rodeo was still in progress only 4 seconds had gone by,

Vera accepted that as a progression point & we continued on our way.

While the poor boy was still in shock.

 

Not sure how to handle what had just happened,

we began looking at the scenery.

At that instant we beheld an elderly man on a mo-ped,

slowly synching his way up the hill with the putt-putt of the small motor.

His helmet was bouncing all over his head 

& his face was less than amused as he passed us with glazed over eyes & a hunched back.

 

The sight wouldn't have been as funny if it hadn't have been for the brief rodeo that took place just before.

It caused us such joy that we collapsed to the ground & began laughing uncontrollably,

rolling on the ground,

without a care in the world.

 

That is until the rolling got out of hand.

Vera rolled a little to close to the street & the only thing that stopped her was that her hand touched something cold & furry.

 

She screamed,

causing both of us to panic.

What could have gone wrong?

 

We both got up & looked where Vera's hand was,

& there on the side of the road was a

Dead Rabbit.

 

We got up fast & starred at it with amazement.

How could no one have noticed this cute little guy??

 

Without hesitation,

we picked it up,

took pictures with it 

& showed the people walking to campus.

 

 Mostly everyone seemed to be appalled,

Some people stopped to take their picture with us,

Others wanted to touch it.

 

We had been there for probably 2 minutes when our favorite customer came.

He was sporting some very high fashion,

bleached hair,

stylish earrings,

& a new iphone.

 

He saw us holding the rabbit & yelped a very high pitched girlish squeal.

"Did Alcatraz do this?!?"

We looked at each other...

"uh....no...?"

 

He could tell we were confused.

That didn't stop him from creating a small documentary featuring us & the dead rabbit on his phone.

 

He was filming in "selfie" mode.

He began,

"Here I am at the scene of the crime, with my two witnesses."

 

**Camera on us**

"Hello."

 

**Camera back on him**

"We don't know what horrible person would do such a thing to a poor innocent animal but we will find out!! Do you have any idea who this could have been??"

 

**Camera on us**

"We just wanted to touch it."

 

**Camera back on him**

"A funeral is in order, cross the street with me to the wilderness!!"

 

Needless to say we found a small shrub,

put him under it with a paper plate & some leaves.

Sang a song & sent him off to heaven.

 

He then left & we never saw him again.

We will forever be on that man's phone.

 

Lucky Him.

 

We continued home & took a nap from that chaotic 6-7 minutes.

 

We are individualist, we do what we want.

 

(That ended extremely quick...but we had nothing else to say.)
