The old man’s voice was just a croak. He was of course a homeless bloke. A rich looking man was passing by. The old man gave a big sigh. The passerby asked if he needed a cloak, and the old man started to cry. “Oh yes, please”, he pleaded, “thank you kind sir”.

“Well, get a job!” and left very quickly as if in a blur!

Tires screeched as the getaway car raced through narrow streets of the Back Bay. Everyone crowded around, pushing the barriers set up by the film crew. Just as the car zoomed by, many people tried to capture the scene with their phones. They all wanted a picture of Tom Cruise in the car, speeding down the street, but what they got was a blurred photo that showed nothing. Later in the evening, the film crew spread out in the local cafes and restaurants. Tom Cruise appeared for an hour to satisfy his fans and promote the new movie.

Looking back in my personal history, I think it was childhood justice and though I have no regrets about that cruel push, I still bear the scars on the hump of my shoulder. It only pains me when the weather is damp. I say this in jest – always look forward and not back at the past. In jest, because I find it impossible.

As I was trying to give up sugar and therefore, joy, I started to hallucinate. I saw an angry moon, not the serene orb of yesterday and I began to wonder if even the moon thought these are precious things and not to be tossed aside. Then I went back inside and ate a big hot fudge sundae with extra toppings.
