The Park
I was walking in this really lousy park. I saw a homeless old man who didn’t look any good. He just was freezing like a bastard. So what I did was I gave him enough dough so he could have a nice breakfast. He was thankful as hell. Then we shaked hands and all that crap. I gave him much dough, but I didn’t care much.
I was thinking about this guy, Alex Mason at Whooton School. He’s family was poor as hell. For a whole week he wore the same clothes. I didn’t even know if he brushed his goddam teeth. He got kicked out. I felt sorry for him. He couldn’t even bring money to school. It killed me
Anyway, while I was walking I saw this very phony couple talking about marriage, and all that crap. It was one of those very phony conversations which are really boring.
I kept walking and it was really boring, but but I didn’t care much. I was freezing like a bastard. There were about thousand benches so I just sat on one. I was feeling lonesome as Hell. I thought about giving this guy, Eric Pumphrey a buzz. He was this very intellectual guy. He was pretty self-confident. He thought he was the goddam king. I didn’t feel like calling him though.
Everywhere I was surrounded by morons. I just tried to get the hell out of there. I mean go home and all. I started to even miss my goddam parents. I was getting pretty excited until the consequences came in my mind.
Anyway, I finally got of the bench and started going to the ducks and see what they were doing. As I was walking I couldn’t believe what happened. A little boy was being beat up by a older one. It killed me, it really did. So what I did was I went to the boy and told him to stop. I tried to be more manly, and when he saw I was twice as old as him he started running away. I helped the young boy get up and all. He thanked me.
I only thought to myself. What is going on in this park today? But I knew I couldn’t answer that. I finally somehow managed to reach the ducks. It was really cold and I saw none of the ducks in the lagoon. I was pretty sad I didn’t get to see them, but I started going to another way. I didn’t know wherever the hell I was going. I just kept thinking about what happened today in this goddam park. First the old man, then the phony couple, the morons, and finally the young boy. This was a really strange day. I started thinking of going home and all. I was really missing Phoebe and even my goddam parents. So what I did was I tried to think of a way how to explain to my parents why I am back before Wednesday, but I just couldn’t think of what to make up. But then something just randomly popped out in my mind. What if Phoebe was here with me and see what happened in the park? It killed me. I couldn’t think of Phoebe’s reactions of this stupid park.
Then I finally found the stupid exit. I was so goddam happy to leave of that strange park. But I knew that what happened there today would haunt me afterwards.
