The utter violence that would ensue if the members of this board were to collide would bring forth a rupture so massive it could shatter the mechanics of mass and energy, just do try and remember the type I speak of is a more personal type than most of you are familiar with for you see it is not a “continuum”.
Lol, seriously though has anyone ever used their graphic novel experience in real situations? Not the healthy go lucky attitude life lesson stuff you learn, I’m talking about the socially debatable types. Let me share a story with you, gather around for this story of fine adventure.
A pair of years ago, yes but not too long ago I traveled a distance of a distance of about 10 miles give or take with about an average ETA of 45 minutes from point A to point B ( weather conditions, traffic, cops, etc…). I used this “shortcut” many times and it involves some private property niches, nothing like breaking things in or the sort but technically on grounds of and there for a cautious tuck n run type of “jog” speed if you will is in effect. On a certain perfectly average sunny day I came across a rather large ring of keys to a certain house and obviously within the boundaries of the house in question, at least a handful of keys in this ring at a weighty grab too. Ideas began running, no not walking in kind of ideas but how to return them kind and that is returning them without being suspicious. But how foolish can I be I thought, just hand them over? Why would there be a problem with that? I go over to the door and with keys in hand knock twice. Movement- I hear movement like the kind of someone scurrying in the house trying to be sneaky but utterly failing at it. This annoys me somewhat so I knock loud and I knock hard about four times. The person at the other end seems desperately shaken at this point. Shadow- I notice a shadow near the window, It’s a woman. Does she think I’m blind? I’m trying to be a good Samaritan damnit! I grow tired of this quickly and as I look around more I notice a conveniently placed hook near the top area between the door/window. Perfect- I casually hook the large ring of keys there and make my way down the path already delayed thanks to this event.
Well, the next day I happened to be taking this route again. ETA 25 minutes to go and weather conditions phenomenal, nothing could go wrong am I right? Victory- I thought as I savored the meal ahead but I must keep my reserve or my path will be delayed, don’t wanna get followed by white trucks (that’s a completely different story…). I had totally forgotten what went down the other day, It was such a trivial event I gave no extra precaution as I attempted to cross that area once more. That’s odd, that garage is never open- F***CK Heaven or Hell. Nothing truly out of the ordinary but none the less I was surprised that in my years of taking that route there would be an old man standing there watching me almost right after I had noticed him standing there. " Your not suppose’ ta be crossing through here." the old one said, It was about private property matters I thought. I stood and listened to the old man intently, " This is private property, you can’t go walking’ round…" This man was angry, a little more angry than any normal person would be about a trespasser or maybe he just sounded harsh in my tired ears I’m not at all sure but I am quite positive of what happened next. I’ll never forget it, I looked under my field of vision somehow and saw actual “options” if you will. The top ones were more diplomatic/ passive and it ranged there to another more neutral like ignore and walk away. Then I saw the aggressive option and thought, “hmm, I do need me some renegade points so what the hell…” I pick the option and immediately make haste towards the old man man whose expression didn’t change. I grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him towards me the man now slightly shaken. He had threatened me with the cops, there was no walking away. “Listen old man, I pass by every day and NOW you threaten me?” I told him furiously in a more elevated volume than usual. " If you got a problem with me then go ahead and call them, I’ll be long gone by then." I continued more calmly this time and then thought of something quite quickly. “Is this about the keys, cause I could of made copies of those and broken in later but instead I returned them you ungrateful idiot.” the man has truly seen something because he shakes slightly and becomes heavy in my hands and so I tighten my grip and add an extra hand for my coup de gracia. " Oh so you know about those keys? Yeah, that was me." I don’t know how long we stayed like that but as soon as I realized what I had done to this man and what I had said I let go and he looks at me puzzled but I can’t look him in the eye and so I walk away.
About a week later I make my pass and notice the old man there with his woman talking about something. I take this as my chance to barge in and extort them of money and personal belongings LOL joking but seriously I walk up and immediately apologize and surprisingly they apologize as well for God knows what…something about the keys and that old lady but more importantly I am welcome to pass anytime. Now that I think about it I go CONGRATULATIONS BEST END LOL.
