On the way to work this morning, I was the first in a line of cars to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. This wasn't any ordinary pedestrian, however. She was wearing a hoodie (with the hood on) and carrying two huge duffel bags. With a presence like something out of The Ring, she stared at me, straight in the eyes, as if to say, "I can see through to your soul and I'm going to have it for dinner with a side of vengeance." As she passed my car, she continued to stare at me. And after I had pulled away, I saw in my rearview mirror that she was fixated on my car.
On the way home tonight, I was again the first in a line of cars to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Same street. Different crosswalk. SAME PEDESTRIAN! She recognized me and instead of staring with a look of attack, she stopped in front of my car, stared (in a creepy manner), and waved and smiled at me like I was her long lost sister. Anxious to get her out of the way (and fearing that a swarm of locusts was about to attack my car), I half-waved back. As she started to pass the next car, I pulled away - completely freaked out!
God IS running out of extras in my life and now he's decided to cast me in a horror flick!

ReplyDeleteWell, look at it this way. God is probably trying to save money on backgrounds, just like they did on "Scooby Doo" (if you watch characters when they're running, the scenery repeats itself every few seconds).
ReplyDeleteOf course, the concept of a cheapskate God is kind of scary as well. It certainly explains pop music.
