A nice cozy evening and the usual suspects are having a
hangout at ground zero. How time has passed yet nothing much seems to have
changed. Reminiscing on yester years the laughter, the revelations and outright
face palm moments take center stage.
Flash back 4 years ago, when life was as simple as farting
after a meal; in the absence of your crush of course. 3 days of sanity,
engaged albeit a few hours when the unforgiving sun scotches the land. The
minds hotwired; skimming off mediocrity and imparting maturity and with it some
semblance of sanity. Be strong, the 4 day weekend is fast approaching, the
great trek down to where the mouth waters at the thought of the pilgrimage. The
shallow assortment notwithstanding, the register will record their presence.
For hours on end, in total disregard for the dark trek back they make merry way
past curfew. But they are hungry, they won’t sleep hungry. Where will they
quench their hunger?
The lights go out albeit momentarily to the slurred jeers
from the usual suspects. Oblivious of the warning from the register holder,
they come back on to a hearty jubilation. Moments later, the music stops,
scampering at the entrance, facing the back, totally aloof of the new
developments. He glances over his shoulder to a 6 ft and heavy. Glass in one
hand and the 750 kill me quick in the other, there will be no waste! Bursting
through the back door, left is not an option. To the right, the vegetation
tasked with keeping intruders at bay seems the best alternative; it’s either
that or the slammer. The jump from the inebriated is more like the
charity sweep stake. The leading foot does not think his counterpart
should follow, stuck in the heap becoming one with the flora. Just then the
slammer express pulls up casting an unfriendly beam. Wading like a reptile,
concealing everything possible lying stiller than photo. They walk right
over, two of them, the law and the unfortunate purp. Minutes
pass and there engine begins to roar, the beam gets ever dimmer and when
calmness begins to set in, laughter erupts. oh the irony,
he thought he was alone; where did everybody go?
Nowhere apparently, just out of sight joining the flora
or cozying up the sand. goodness me, damn there were times!
Kill me quick in hand; their rubber appendages begin
an exodus. Just another day in the life of the members; register
marked another tantalizing story for the archives, never mind the garments
will never be worn again. They are young; the future will take care of itself.
The party don’t stop, doing a pap of honour around the usual hotspots. Kill me
quick has to do just that even if it means death at dawn. The grinding the
bending the twer…oh sorry that wasn't invented yet; well into the
morning.
Fast forward back to the present; the adventures continue.
