Stranger

I was going on a walk all alone in the dark, the way I like it… with hard rock on and eyes staring constantly at the finite in the dark. I heard a stranger’s breath close to mine…I heard a few dry leaves on the dry ground flutter and heard a Hi!

I ignored it obviously because I couldn’t hear it with my music on. So I lowered the volume of my MP3 player and pretended to be listening. The stranger asked me what was I doing walking alone in the dark without a purpose. I told him I had a purpose. He said he couldn’t see it from my eyes. I asked him how he could see my eyes in the dark. He remained silent.

I remained silent too. I am still silent.
