A Walk In The Park

     So a friend dropped me off at my house around 11:00pm, and as he drove off I realized I still had quite a bit of energy left in me. So I started on a quick jog, but running isn't really fun so I started walking instead. I walked over to a nearby park and was strolling through the grass, letting my mind wander. Just then I see something over in the shadow of a tree. I got closer and realized it was a person, all alone, laying flat on their back in the grass. So being the good citizen that I am, I decided the right thing to do would be to make sure they were okay.

Me: Hey

Body: No response

Me: [A bit louder] Hey! Are you okay there?

Body: Still no response



     I sighed and walked right over to the person. It was real dark where they were so I couldn't really make out any details at all but I was 87% sure it was a someteen year-old boy. I nudged him with my foot to check for any response. And he responded. His whole body jumped about seven inches off the grass and then he bolted up right and kind of crab-walk/scurried away from me a few feet. Then he yanked the earbuds out of his ears and I realized that he wasn't unconscious. He just couldn't hear me over his music.

Body: [Unleashes a long slurry of curse words] WHAT'RE YOU DOING???

Me: Oh... I was just making sure you were okay.

Body: [Standing up] Of course I'm okay!! I was just laying down for a bit to rest!

Me: Alright, glad to hear it then... Hey uh... Were you gonna sleep there all night?

Body: None of your business!

Me: Okay. Just curious.

     Some more swear words poured out of his mouth as he turned and walked away from me. So then I decided that it was probably best if I go home and finish my homework.

     And in case any of you are thinking that you should go sleep on the grass in the park with no blankets or anything: Remember that someone might disturb you and also that there are probably way more comfortable ways to go to sleep.
