The other day I went to stand in the quick line at the grocery store. The man in front of me said something sharp and turned quickly. I asked what he had said since I didn't understand him, but he would't turn around. I studied him. He was good-looking, late 30s, stood straight as an arrow, and his mouth was so tight that my jaw hurt from seeing it. He had spread on the conveyor belt an apple, a pear and a banana. Everyone in the line was absolutely silent. He seemed military. When it was my turn to check out, he was gone, so I asked the cashier. She said people stay clear of him because he seems a loose canon "My buddies died for you maggots." is what I heard him echo in my head. Bits and pieces of pattern, all over the road. I don't know anything, John. Nothing at all.
