A crack and a dull pop as Lorne sat on the edge of his bed stretching his tan arms above his head of short black hair. The warm light of the morning sun shone across the room from the window to his right to the wall on his left. He stood up and stretched his back. “Yaaaaaaun” Lorne sighed. He felt refreshed. He had gotten a good rest and didn’t even get up until after the sun started to rise. Then a sinking feeling weighed down on him. There was a reason he was not up at 5.00 am. He had lost his job. “Well, flabbetyjacks,” As he got dressed and walked to the kitchen, Lorne took inventory of things he had. A house to himself til the end of the month, a bicycle in great condition, a black belt in karate, good health, and a grand total of 200 zenni to his name. “Could be better, but could be worse. Cest la vie,” The wood floor creaked as Lorne made his way from one side of the kitchen to the other, the cupboard for the blender, the refrigerator for the vegetables, the glass for his juice. The air was musty and the morning sun revealed the dust particles suspended therein. It wasn’t a filthy place, but neither was it kept in the best condition. The windows had never been cleaned and the furniture never dusted, but he kept things picked up. Lorne took a look around at the modest home. Could be worse. He gulped down his vegetable juice, refilled the glass from the tap and rinsed his blender. Then it was out the door into the sunny and warm morning, of which thus far he’d caught only glimpses through windows. Outside was the familiar residential street in West City on which he had lived for the past several years and to which he may never return. He walked swiftly to the side of the house where he retrieved his deep green bicycle to carry him along the street and see what this city could offer a 27-year-old martial artist. Just as he jumped on to the seat of his bicycle he saw a car turn onto his street and cut the corner of the lawn, leaving a deep tire mark in the moist ground. “Now,” Lorne said out loud, “That’s just inconsiderate,” One thing that really can grind a guy’s gears, particularly Lorne’s gears, is wanton destruction of any kind. Some joker has himself a jolly good time with no regard whatsoever for what he is doing to the environment around him. Some big shot can deface or destroy anything around him in the process of lining his pockets or furthering his agenda and either no one notices, or they don’t bother saying anything because of all the money or bullets in the background. No, that’s the real tragedy, no one notices. Well, Lorne does, and he bothers to say something. “HEY!” ~crank crank crank crank~ Lorne took off down the street after the car that had ruined the lawn, peddling rhythmically and uncannily fast. It wasn’t about the grass, it was the complete lack of consideration, the principle. After the car had stopped at a traffic light, Lorne caught up with the offender, he rode up to the driver’s window, which was conveniently open. “Hey,” The driver looked over at Lorne. It was a normal-looking fellow, kind of skinny, wearing a cowboy hat and a surprised look. “Uh, can I help you?” The driver asked. “Did you know, sir that in rounding that last corner, you drove through the grass and left an unsightly track in the lawn?” “Uh, now that I think about it-“ “Yeah, now that you think about it, you remember a bump as you haphazardly drove your car off the road and on to private property. Too bad you weren’t thinking about it then, huh?” “Uh, sorry,” “I’ll bet you are,” Lorne replied, “Just be more careful in the future and think about what you’re doing before you do it, mmkay?” The traffic light changed to green and the driver took off. “Some people,” |
