I'll be safe she said.

I left work on time, taking my hard drive with me, and a pretty past calendar page.

I even got escorted up to the street by a guard.

Anyway, I stood there, waiting to see how long it would take to catch a bus and get home.
I was there for maybe 15 mins then a student stopped to give me a lift, and as soon as I was in the car, she said that she forgot where I lived. Ok. I live a mile or so away. But she said that she was going to drop me off before that. It would be safe. I said fine. I had nothing else to say.

So I stood there, in the dark, at the top of a hill on a small curve, where I saw a wreck of maybe 3 cars a week before. Sure I was safe. Street lights going out all around and slowly coming back on. People thinking that they were in the grand-prix as they rushed by me. Ok... It was about 100 yards to a well lit, off the street bus waiting area at a gas station. I should be able to make it.

I just have to walk in the dark, on the street when no cars were coming, or on the grass that was wet, with holes in the ground, the things that bite and dropping from dogs and sheep, or and some mud and maybe a dead animal or two in the way, when I car was coming.

Well after waiting in the spot for maybe 10 mins, I went for it. No close calls with any cars, just learned to stand still when a car was coming and not look into the high beans so I can see to get going.

Got there and waited for another 10 mins until the same girl and father or grand father came by and gave me a lift home.

When I got home everyone was already in bed. Walked past the computer and saw on the kitchen table that my sister made some meat patties for dinner. Went, got undressed, then came back for some. They were good. Could almost be store bought. It had that hint of pepper that sister later said she didn't taste. I don't do that well with spicy stuff.

At least it didn't rain on my while I was waiting for a lift home.

Nice end with the patties. Bye.
