Cherry on top of a s$%* Sundae.

Ethan grumbled into his elbow. The day had started off raw. Dumb alarm clock didn't wake him up with the radio setting like he had told it to. the screeching beep beep of it has started his dog barking which had woken his parents who were visiting from out of town, and he did NOT want to talk to them in the morning. But they motored into the bathroom before him so he had to have fresh coffee waiting for them when they got done with the shower he was supposed to have or be a negligent son. He had to get to work, but they HAD to chat about what they were going to do without him today, eventually cajoling him into joining them for lunch which was going to mean lunch was a rushed affair for him instead of an actual break from the tedium of meeting after meeting that he had to be alert for.

UGH. And now, here was his car, not there. Stolen or towed? He had enough time to just take the bus to the lunch and get back, but not enough time to eat while he was there, and guess what? His phone hadn't charged overnight, and it was going to be ok, because he'd charge it in the car over lunch... but no car. So he couldn't even call his parents, so he HAD to go.

He went.

He went.

He went.

And the bus... The bus was quiet time. Sure it was cram packed, but no one talked to him. He watched a dad watch his son sleep in his arms. He watched an older gentleman take a seat offered to him by a young woman who had a hammer in her belt and a shirt that said Habitat for Humanity 2011 and who looked like she was making a decent living improving our city's infrastructure.
