Fascinating.

Once upon a time, I was returning to my dorm after studying at the library, circa midnight, when I was accosted by a middle-aged woman in pajamas. Her hair was frazzled, and she wielded a flashlight.

She told me that she was having chest pains, so I asked her if she wanted to be taken to the ER, and she replied that she wanted to go to the parking lot of a nearby grocery store.

The conversation waxed profoundly strange until she suddenly turned around and walked into the nearest building.

I hope she didn't frighten any janitors. In retrospect, I think she was schizophrenic. Many homeless people are.

Did you intend for her to be a metaphor for the state of the nation?

Did you hear Muzak while you were speaking with her?
