While she was walking

- category: observation/about me -

The train finally stopped, blaring "This is Monroe...doors open on the left at Monroe."
As she stepped out of the car and went up the escalator, she hesitantly recalled the many stops she had to travel from her apartment at the north Chicago. Ugh, the nausiating feeling that was almost unbearable...it was difficult to breathe....

She stepped out from the subway station, breathed a bit easily now that she's no longer underground...she really much preffered sunshine. Let's see...Bryn Mawr... Berwyn...Argyle...Lawrence...Wilson...Sheridan...Addison...
Belmont...Fullerton...North/Clybourn...Clark/Division...Chicago...Grand...
Lake...Washington...Monroe.

16 stops. Damn. If she wanted to go to the main campus, then she would continue...Jackson...Harrison...Roosevelt...Cermak/Chinatown...Sox/35th. Thank God today wasn't one of those rare days when she needed to take some extra trips...

By the way, those shoes were nice...maybe some other time....
She kept walking past through people dressed nicely, suits, tie, dress suits...it was a little past five anyway...understandable. Today would be the last day for class...then next week would be final exams...sigh.

Then she would leave this city. Chicago. For good.

Guh. What should she feel? She felt nothing as she threaded her way through people. Probably buy some food for one of those homeless people at the bridge. Huh? There wasn't any today. Interesting....Doves.

Upset maybe? Well, she was...but for another reason entirely. It was when she found out one of her favorite yaoi manga "The Tyrant Who Falls In Love" was licensed and the scanlations stopped. Yeah....she was upset.

Happy? Not really...she liked walking down the street like this...she needed the exercise.
Angry? Hell no, there's nothing to be angry about (at this time).

She felt.......bored. She kept walking. Ah, red light. Gotta stop.
The wind was sure strong today, even though the temperature was kinda nice and a bit humid.
Green light. Go. Hn, what're you looking at?

She sure regretted the time when her ring suddenly snapped into two pieces. It's nothing really, but it served its purpose in keeping men away...she has a boyfriend. A cute one.

The wind blew stronger. Cough, what the...?! Cigarette smoke was sure dreadful...cough.
She was here, at last. Revolving doors.

My last class. My last semester. My first, too.
Later?...bye bye.

Ha. Revolving doors. Grin.

Mira, is it you? Never known that you got a blog, and never known that you can write a story like a novelist. Hey, how are you in chicago (or in California?)
