A bit sad that I spent unnecessary money on coffee, but even more than that I was jittery and twitchy from the coffee I just drank. I walk out of the blue coffee shop with a nice green trim, the blue was gradiated with a nice purple at the bottom and had a few circles passing as "stars" on it, it was a really well done building.
I think to myself whilst twitching, as I’m walking to the park to meet up with my modeler, I stop to look at my reflection in the store mirror.
My clothes are shabby, my hair is scruffy, my eyes are bloodshot and my dog has 2 legs. I look like a complete mess.
“I look like a hobo, or crazy, or maybe like an escaped mental patient? Wait a minute I don't even own a dog."
I whisper to myself as my mind keeps wandering, I slap my cheeks, twice trying to getting back on track and continue on my way to the park. The sun is covered by clouds today thankfully so it’s not too hot, I smile to myself,
“Maybe today’s not gonna be as bad as I thought?”
After about 30 minutes I’m at the park, it’s apparently densely populated. “Ah, the park, it’s so full here, it should be on a- Wait I don’t even know what day it is today, I really need to do better with myself.” I declare with a small twitch. The park is a lush green pasture, kids are playing everywhere, adults with their pets, a water fountain with what looks like an angel in the middle, even a playground! and a shady guy parked in the far end of the park who's just on the side of it looking on the playground with binoculars.
“Time to find this person! I just hope they’re not far, or you know, hard to find. I’m talking to myself like a real crazy person." I question myself heavily as I walk all around the park trying to find one weird individual I met on the internet, I sit down on a nearby wooden bench. “I-I’ve made a terrible mistake haven’t I? Why couldn’t we meet in a more secluded location. Why did I agree to meet in a park!?”
I shout to myself as passersby look at me like I’m crazy, I think the whole park heard that. I heard one kid say
“Mommy what’s that hobo doing here?”
The mom answered
“That’s not a hobo, that’s more of a crazy person.”
one more person chimed in
“An escaped mental patient?”
I internally scream and twitch again, I don’t think this one was from the coffee. I’m about to get up from where I was sitting and everyone who was looking backs away slowly. My eyes go blurry and I faint. I eventually wake up later in an unfamiliar beige ceiling and strangely warm and comfortable. I survey the room and see a nurse who responds to me.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
“Ah! You're finally awake. What exactly happened with you?"
“I had a bit too much coffee after staying awake for a whole day.”
"Sir what was so important that you had to drink coffee to stay up for some extra time? A school assignment deadline? Waiting up for someone coming home late? What possesed you to stay up so late?
I respond with
"I had to meet up with someone I met online."
"It seems you must have brain damage too, we might have to keep you here overnight for further testing."
I sweat profusely as I declare
"I'm not insane, c'mon you can believe me."
"My job as a nurse to not let sick people out of this hospital until they've been proven healthy."
*7 hours later*
"Goodbye sir! Try not to over-do it with the coffee next time."
I cringe and shudder at what just happened as I hailed a nearby cab, got in, told him where I was going and enjoyed the ride home, looking through the window at the sunset
"Night already."
I unlock my door and go inside, I walk into my "kitchen", go into my "cupboard", and open my last cup of ramen noodles, put some water in it and microwave it. I sit in my chair and eat my noodles whilst browsing the forums for my modeler who's already messaged me.
S: are you there
M: I think we made a mistake.
S: same
M: We really should’ve met in a more secluded location.
S: you have anything in mind
M: A coffee shop?
S: nah those make a fortune off of people
M: Let’s meet at “Benny’s” then.
S: btw did you see that hobo looking guy
M: Hobo looking guy?
S: yeah his eyes were bloodshot and everything he said he was waiting for someone apparently but then fainted i called the ambulance for him
M: Sounds strange
S: that was scary
M: But anyway, see you- Wait, how do we know each-other this time? In case of a rush-hour or something.
S: wear a green bracelet on your hand or something just stand out
M: Alright then, let’s meet tomorrow, cya.
“She totally saw me, crap.”
I slurp the last of my noodles.
“No sense in beating myself up about it, the last thing I’m gonna do is play games to fall asleep, since I can’t trust myself with that.”
I sigh heavily as I go to WeekInMotion and log-out of my account.
"I need to delete my browser history after this, doing something this dirty makes me sick."
I shudder as I type in "Jonx" and go to watch reaction videos, within the first 10 seconds of the video I was fast asleep.
The morning light burns my skin and that's when I realize it's morning, this is the worst way to wake up for me. I rub my eyes wearily and clear my browser history of those reaction videos and quickly close the browser after which I wash my hands and agree to myself to never speak of this moment again.
