A Strange Encounter
A few weeks ago you all learned my story with Stan Lee, one of the greatest encounters I've had in my life. But now its time for one of my strangest...
It all happened a year ago, it was a Friday, more specifically a Friday in which we all had our report cards given at school. As per my usual routine I got out of school to get to the bus before anyone else, i was walking there all on my lonesome. On my way there however, I noticed a tall person standing by a tree near the bus stop, being a bus stop for students I assumed it was just a student who was just wearing cheap clothes. As I walked past him he ran up in front of me and he pushed me in the chest, and then he said these things in this order;
"Excuse me sir; I am homeless, I am dumb, I am single, I'm new in town!"...and then I immediately ran to the bus, and all the while I thought about what just transpired. My first thought was, "Your gonna close with 'new in town' ?". That was not the most dramatic thing that he said, as they say, "You had me at dumb". If I were to order those things, I would've said "Excuse me sir, I'm new in town, and it gets worse."
As the bus drove around the block I wondered why he did what he did, I mean...didn't he practice his pitch in the mirror that morning? And I imagined it went something like to this.
"Alright, what am i gonna do today. Hmm I'll walk up and say 'hello', no thats too subtle, ill walk up and ill push him! Then Ill say 'I'm new in town!', no no no hold back, I'll save it! I'll say I'm Dumb!! No thats too strong...hmm. Ok, first I'm gonna walk up and push him, I'll start with the fact that I am Homeless, as that is a given, then for backstory I'll pepper in the fact that I am out of school". Which i know its tough for single youths on he streets but thats not like a reason for money. I always was confused how he phrased it too, he didn't say he was living on the streets, he said "I'm new in town!". Like it was intriguing, like he wanted me to set him up with someone. Like I have a friend who's like "Theres no single guys left in town!" and I'd be like "I know someone who's new in town!", "What are three other things about him?"
Well theres my Strange encounter, have you all had one before? If so comment and let me know, till then, see ya!
