In the doorway of a rush hour #5 train

Storytelling Saturday gets stuck in rush hour again

Once upon a time...

After squeezing my way past the slack-jawed dupe playing a goddamned video game in the doorway of a rush hour #5 train, my eyes move to a story in the newspaper being read by the white collar dweeb to my right. Yet another expert is blathering on about a Madrid-style attack in New York City. You know, blow up a train and see what happens at the voting booths. This gets me looking around at my co-commuters...imagining their 2 x 2 headshots next to mine in a lurid New York Post layout about the bombing. If that expert is right...these eyes, ears, noses, and mouths will be forever linked to my own face in the pantheon of alleged innocents. I just hope my picture doesn’t end up alongside Mr. Video Game. I’d much rather find myself near the pretty girl eating a biscotti to my left.

The End

Who wants to tell us a story in the comments section?
