So Very Tempting
July 1, 2010 - 11pmI was propositioned by a crack whore today.
There’s a corner up the street from our office where I’m reasonably certain I saw a crack deal go down a few weeks ago. I can’t say for certain that’s what it was, but it certainly appeared to be the case: the partially concealed handing of something small from one man to another, followed by a furtive hand shoved into a filthy pocket and a brisk walk away. Plenty of crackheads in Belltown.
I and some coworkers were walking up the street on this same corner. A woman sat stretched across the knee-height cinder block retaining wall. As we crossed to her side of the street, she looked me directly in the eyes and smacked her lips three times with a loud popping sound, opening her mouth wide each time.
That’s… that’s not what I was think it was. Right? I mean, after Friday’s weirdness, the odds of additional weirdness so soon are really, really low. And really, that’s her sales pitch? Does that actually work?
I continued pondering this just long enough for my coworkers to start laughing.
Commenting validates my miserable existence.
