Who: Stuart and Jake What: Random encounter Where: In town When: Monday Warnings: Not likely Status: Closed
Stuart had been busy all morning. He'd had a couple of laptops to work on, and he'd finally achieved his goal of repairing them. He missed his usual lunch break by about an hour and a half, so he was kind of starving by the time he left the shop for lunch.
He headed outside. He spent a lot of time inside, and didn't particularly care to go outside. Especially in winter. Or summer for that matter. But he felt like he needed a little fresh air, so he headed out into town. And promptly almost ran into someone because he was looking down at the phone in his hand, sending a text to K-Mart, and not paying attention to the world around him.
"Sorry about that," he said. "I wasn't paying attention." Which was sadly kind of common for him. It didn't happen as often as it used to, but it obviously still happened.
