Errand Interrupted
"You have to listen to me. Your life is in grave danger."
"Sure, stranger, whose isn’t?"
"Please explain."
"Anybody walking down this street could be hit by a car, or have a previously unknown allergic reaction, or a piano dropped from a window on his or her head, at any moment."
"I, I guess you’re right." I walked on, pondering what the man had told me. Maybe he had a point. I should change my life. Even if I felt like I was forgetting something.
Somewhere behind me there sounded the thwup of a silenced rifle, and several bystanders screamed.
