Desensitized Paralysis

[solid_nectarine]

At the coffeestand I work at, I came in for a sweet 8 hour shift solo. I was chatting with my manager when she looks across the parking lot at the front entrance of Walgreens and asks me what "that man is doing"... he's laying on the ground - flat out on his back. This woman was standing over him (so we assumed crackheads were just being wack),

you'd think the emts could at least feign some urgency. i'm sorry you had to watch that, i'd probably be "not right" for a few days. creepy. then i'd probably have to go shopping. RETAIL THERAPY!!

"all the good in the world you can fit inside a thimble/and still have room for you and me"

mallory pilcher--
do you remember what that bitch shopping cunt looked like? lets unleash some vigilante justice for that dying guy, and bust that bitch's ass in half. i am so so sorry that you had to go through that. adding the experience of watching a corpse happen is not something too fantastic is it? i am so sorry. how entirely surreal.
