I was out for a normal walk the other day. You know the type. You put one leg in front of the other in a sort of walking motion. You know, right? Of course you know, you’re my handsome and intelligent readership. Anyway, enough shameless flattery. I was walking along the street, minding my own business and also the business of a friend who was away on holiday when earth-shattering noise tore through the air.
CCCRRRRAAAASSSSHH! A deafening tumult of falling rubble and screaming passers-by was heard as a giant monolithic creature burst from the ground beneath my feet and peered down at me. “Oh my God!”, I cried. “Tim, is that you?”.
“Little Jimmy” replied the creature, while adjusting his spectacles to get a better look at me. “What a surprise to see you sprawled on the floor here. What’s it been? 15, 16 years?”
“Yeah, something like that. I haven’t seen you since our kappa kappa gamma days”. Just a note to clarify here. Me and Tim were members of a very open sorority. I was the first non-female male in the group and Tim was the first omnipotent-mythical creature member. It caused quite a stir at the time since the omnipotent-mythical creature community was getting quite agitated about not being included in sorority life. Quite turning-point in history if you ask me.
We both shared a smile and a hearty laugh. Well, mine was hearty. His was more the noise a thousand dying suns might make and they collapse in on themselves. It brought joy to my blood-filled ears to hear that noise again!
