not everyone has a knight in shining armour when the night creeps in...

walked Pepper today and took her to the doggy park near my house.
There was a big bad bully dog who kept biting her and her tail,
a small but old dog kept barking at the big bad bully to try help pepper,
the old dog walked away with its owner,
obliged to follow,
the big bad bully kept harassing pepper,
i watched in horror as i tried to help motivate pepper to run away,
the big dog followed,
finally i couldn't take it anymore and shouted at the mysterious big dog,
picked up pepper and ran off into the ...
twilight?
(Grr i can never read or speak or type that word the same again)


As night came, it got suddenly darker. i drop my phone and can't find it. an old couple found it. i jog home. a creepy man across the street is doing something. i run along. i decide to pretend i'm running away from something horrible. i sprint down the pathway and imagine alice in alice in wonderland and all those heroins in fantasy stories who run from their death...do they never tire? do they never stumble or fall? nor do they ever get caught...why do they always have someone to help them?


so here i was. running. for the sake of running. and i needed help. i needed someone to save me from my strange imagination and bring me to reality. but like i said. not everyone has a knight in shining armour when the night creeps in.
