return to the present

a new day a new trip to the mall. the usual walk to the mall goes smooth (25-40 min) i notice its getting colder out and its 530 i can see my breath, i was still in school at this point and walked to the mall at 5 every morning to catch a bus to another bus to Putnam to take a bus to new urban (OK so i could have saved the trouble and taken a bus to chs and then to new urban) but i enjoyed the stillness of the sleeping mall. still dark out and only a little glow illuminating it. but a few months later i got my GED, (ya... not proud) and began spending most my day at the mall.. it was early December.. the major snow storm was approaching (we didn't know it yet) i started meeting more people and instead of spending my time mostly at sears SS. i gradually started hanging in the front..
