I kept walking until I see a giant board making out words that read "Subway." I wasn't sure what kind of Subway I should walk into-since there was two- so I walked into the one with green letters. There was a man there in a visor and green clothes.
"Hello, welcome to Subway. How may I help you?" Said the man depressingly.
I pulled out the paper and showed it to him. "How do I get here?" I asked.
The man sighed. "Take the other Subway and take the blue line of cars on the map, then wait for three stops and get off," he explained. "That's all I know..." He finished.
I nodded and put the paper in my pocket. "You have my thanks," I say to him and give him a small bow. I walk out of the Subway and go to the other one and see millions upon millions of people milling around.
I looked at the map and saw a blue line. I went to where the blue line was, but there was a man that asked for money. I looked in my pockets and found three dollars. I handed him the money. "This is all I have," I tell him.
He nods. "This will be more than enough. Keep two," he says and takes one. I go through a thingy and see a train just arrival.
People begin exiting the train and get on it, too. I get on the train.
So he said wait for three stops? I can handle that! From not being completely bored, I hope.
I take a seat and look around at all the odd looking people.
A man with a beard who is humming a tune while not wearing shoes or a shirt. Frankly, it was quite disturbing...
A woman with millions of body piercings and tattoos and (obviously) black-dyed hair. She was also on the chubby side-but I'm not one to judge.
I look at
My hands and see them flicker from flesh into bone. I wonder if other people can see this when it happens.
I look to the person next to me- a girl that looks about my age, but with longer blonde hair in a side pony-tail who is next to a girl with teal hair. They seem to be conversing about something, but it is hard to make out what they are saying.
I decide not to pay much attention to anything, but to regain intelligence.
One times one is one
Two times one is two
Three times one is three
Okay, simple enough, I guess.
Two times two is four
Four times four is sixteen.
Sixteen times sixteen is two hundred fifty-six.
Two hundred fifty-six times two hundred fifty-six is sixty-five thousand, five hundred thirty-six.
Okay, my intelligence level is some what stable...
The train stops and a lot of people get off, but not much get on.
So far, there is only the hippy man, the emo lady, the two girls, and a man who looks like he has a gun in his invisible beard-yes, he has no beard.
It's silent for a moment., but then the man with no beard and probably has the intention to kill gets up and sits by the tealette.
"Hello," he says to her.
"Um, hello?" She replies and gives her friend a quick glance.
"I came over here to tell you that you look beautiful, darling," the man says creepily and smiles at her.
I try to keep my cool.
Suddenly, the lights start to flicker and the train stops.
Oh god...
What?
I freak out. Len! Oh my god! Where have you been?
More importantly, where have you been?
That can wait!
"How strange," says the weirdest man. He puts his hand on the real girls thigh. "You interest me..." He says in a soft tone.
"P-please stop..." The girl says in a frightened tone.
I'm trying to keep my cool, but-I swear on the holy gods of fruits and vegetables- if he goes any farther...
"Why, darling?" He says even softer.
There we go!
I got up from my seat and the lights entirely went out. I walked over to the man and took him by the collar and held him up. The lights went back on.
"Look, smart ass, the girl said stop so stop!" I shout.
The man laughed sickly a bit. "Oh? Jealous, are we?" He says.
"Better watch what you say to people like me," I say to him.
He smiles slyly.
I punch him in the face and I hear a sharp crack. I through him in a seat away from the two girls and I.
I sit back next to the girl with my legs crossed and my arms folded.
The trains starts moving and the lights snap back on.
I close my eyes and begin doing math in my head again, but, before I knew it, the bus had stopped for my time and I jumped off and headed toward the nearest place for directions.
