Subway at Lunch Time
So I work in an office building, and everyday I take my lunch at 12. Now maybe once a week I go for Subway as a treat, and there is one only about a block away. So with that being said, I usually walk (weather permitting). Now, seeing that I work in an office building, everyone else goes for lunch at 12. So I would say, on average, there is about 15 people or so also walking to Subway. Shit gets lined up pretty quickly. So needlessly to say, the inevitable happened.
It started out pretty harmless. About two weeks ago people started to take notice everyone is leaving at the same time, and thus the line up that formed was basically just us from the office. People started exchanging looks, as if one another was sizing up the competition. I never really thought much of it, I look at plenty of people on my walk, mind you usually in another mind set.
Recently though I've been noticing people kinda of hop skipping. Kind of like taking a quick step. At this point I caught on. I thought to myself, "These mother fuckers. These brilliant bastards are trying to get to Subway faster than everyone else to beat the line." Nooooo fucking way I was letting that happen. A fire built inside me that I never felt before. "Could this be competitive spirit father always shunned me for lacking?" It must have been. I jolted a step ahead, and my god, I skipped right past those fools right into Subway... First.
But see I made a grave mistake at this point. While I didn't reach there at a much faster pace than the others, it alerted them. Now EVERYONE was aware of the charade that was unfolding in front of us. The next day, everyone was aggressively walking. I mean we were still at the stage that everyone fully knew what was going on, but no one truly wanted to admit it by sprinting... That is... Until today.
Today will quiet possibly never be forgotten. The harrowing, disgusting, and semi-psychotic things that went on today can not be erased. It will forever shape the man I am in the future, and change everything from here on out. If there is a hell, I am surely attending.
Now every now and again the group gets stopped at the cross walk. Few lucky make it past, while a herd will get stopped. At that moment everyone stands huffing, exchanging the dirtiest glares. I got the feeling that people started to really dislike one another. What was different about today is, the entire group got stopped at the cross walk.
Everyone standing there, clenched fists. Daggers in all directions beaming from each others eyes. Suddenly my eye caught another mans. The darkness, the absolute emptiness... I have never experienced such a bone chilling stare. It pierced right into my soul, and at that moment, I knew, that shit was about to escalate. This man was prepared to do anything. The wet saliva glistened off his lips as he could already taste his prize. The fire ignited once more inside me, but suddenly doused in high octane fuel.
I let out a roar as the man full out punched the woman next to him. Others charged as a full out melee broke out at the cross walk. Suddenly the walk changed, the white beacon arose. A bolt across the road jolted a near by car as the screams of agony of those left behind echoed. Not even the elderly couple out for their afternoon stroll was left unscathed.
I broke lose from the pack, my legs soared underneath me. But a darkness, a presence falls over me, and as I glance to my right... There he was. There was no fucking way I was letting him win.
The rules of the Subway line up is there is only one winner... The rest are waiting.
