I Lost Him

The bus was really full again today. Jay and I got separated, he nearer the front, and I, near to one of the doors. When we arrived at our destination, I got off and turned around to wait for Jay. He didnt get off and the bus started up again. Oh, well, he'll get off at the next stop and walk back about a block. I just stayed at the stop. After about 10 minutes, I thought maybe he had been mugged or suffocated. It didnt help that I heard sirens in the distance! My next thought was that he probably got off the bus, went to the bus stop going the other way. Now I had to watch the corner on my right, and the bus stop down a block on my left. Oh, yeah! Maybe he'd take a taxi, so now I have to watch left, right, and check all the taxis driving from my right to my left. After about 10 minutes more, a bus came and left. I saw a man in a suit pulling a red cart. That's him! I walked quickly toward him and we met at the door to the office building. We didnt get to work till 11:00!!! The red cart is a wonderful invention. We carry our lunches, books, cameras and nobody knows all the valuable things we have in there. We take it everywhere: grocery store, open market, work...
