Earlier today, though I was more tired than usual after work, I graced the grocery store with my presence. I remembered that an ATM had been placed on the other side of Domino’s. Placing my bags in the car, I had the sudden urge to run. There were no Trump supporters nearby, nor a rabid animal to flee from. I sprinted across the grocery store parking lot and then up the hill and across the parking lot of Domino’s. After using the ATM, I walked back across. An employee of the grocery store hollered across at me. He had watched me take off running from the side of my car and was convinced that I was being threatened or chased. It seems that he was tempted to call for help. After a few seconds, he was convinced someone was filming it as a prank. He asked me why I took off running. Because I’m inscrutable, I told him that just because he did not see someone chasing me doesn’t mean that there wasn’t. He looked at me like I was crazy. I finally laughed. He seemed relieved. And confused. I have a feeling he’s telling the story of the crazy man running for no reason. The next time I see him, I’m basically obligated to take off running in the opposite direction again.
