I’m writing this on the train, sitting next to, what appears to be, vomit. It’s not on my seat, it’s on the seat next to mine and it’s dry, and it doesn’t smell, and it’s keeping everyone from sitting next to me, which is pretty cool, especially when I’m writing run-on sentences for my blog and I need the elbow room.
Trains were a mess today in general. There was some kind of blockage in the tunnel, which caused a lot of delays, and this causes a massive blockage in the waiting areas. Not wanting to deal, I went back to work!
When I eventually went back, I couldn’t help but to silently time how long people considered the vomit seat, each miserable commuter pausing in the aisle next to me for longer and longer moments as the train got fuller and fuller.
Bliss.
