I want to smell dark matter
There was a drunken (or possibly drugged-up) guy asleep at the bus stop today. Then he woke up. He started speaking. I didn't know if he was trying to speak to me or not, so I acted like I couldn't hear him (and I couldn't make him out anyway.) But then he quite clearly said "I think we went to school together." I looked at him and didn't recognise him at all and said "I don't think so." Then he get up and whispered something to me...but I don't know what, since he was off his face. Then, luckily, my bus arrived.
I felt a bit guilty afterwards. What if we WERE friends at school and I couldn't recognise him because he was so ravaged by SUBSTANCES (he looked really bad.) What if the thing he whispered to me was some secret childhood joke the two of us had together? What if I broke his poor drunken heart by not replying? I still have no idea who he was though. The whole thing could serve as a metaphor for how I'm completely cut off from my childhood now. Maybe.
