U9O.net: You and I Know.

I often play basketball during the week.

Sometimes, we play at the park at Lincoln heights.

I got there a bit late, so Doug and I played 2 on 2 while waiting for the full court games to go back into session.

It all happened way too quick, but I remember a flash of motion and one of the guys we’re playing with bleeding from the side of his face, as he got hit by some random person taking his backpack. Next thing I know, I hear a clanky-click as he cocked his gun and pointed it at the kid he jacked the backpack from. All of this about 10 feet away.

The kid with the gun and the backpack skipped away with his friend. Literally skipped, like he was completely happy with joy. A broad smile graced his face. I remember thinking what nice teeth he had for some guy with a gun.

We later found out there was nothing important in the backpack, that it was a completely random incident.

We discussed amongst the group on what to do. We decided to stay and play.

Embarrassment is when returning from the apartment gym with your shared apartment gym keys jangling, which spooks the apartment dog into barking. So you rush to your room to put down your gym bag, and then when you return outside to return the keys you quietly muffle the keys to hang on the door, the exact moment when you place the lanyard on the door handle where the keys usually go, you can hear the sweet sound of love emanating from your roommates’ room.

Not knowing what to do– do you slink away quietly so they won’t know you were there, but how about if they already heard you?? or maybe if you slink away they think you are trying to be all creepy, or should you make a coughing noise so they are aware of your presence, but how about if they haven’t heard you at all and only heard the coughing noise then they will think you are being creepy.

… so then you simply panic and stumble your way out of the hallway in a half-stutter step with a brightly crimson hue to your cheeks making all the noise in the world hoping they didn’t hear your ill-planned retreat back into your room.

I purchased The Truth machine and I loved it in 1996 or 97 or so. This is a free link for that book and something called “the First immortal”, which I plan to read right now actually.
