Another cracked soul in the bread bowl

Prior to sunrise human encounters are rare and should be avoided, if at all possible. In the event that accidental contact is made, and absolutely no escape is possible, things may turn confusing and weird very quickly. Just this morning, for example, as I stood outside a cockroach infested motel (Extended Stay, complete with curry-scented room) prior to sun-up of course, I was approached by an Asian man, hands outstretched (not looking for a match). He was marching, brooding. He had intent. As time slowed for a brief instant, and I watched, information was not processed (one of, but not the only, dangers of pre-sunrise run-ins). This is the gray area of these encounters as you might learn. Anything can happen, and just may. The entire palette of things resulting from human behavioral dynamics is available and possible: simple inquiries resulting from maniacal kidnapping/assaults, incidental eye contact turned into the ultimate pain of Russian roulette, a misplaced pair of eyeglasses resulting in 16 consecutive hours of lost time that you will never get back from the Vietnamese prostitutes, holistic healers and speed freak millionaires who have more time to waste than anyone on these sorts missions. These millionaire are in fact the most dangerous of all, with unlimited resources to use on you with the strategy of keeping themselves entertained. I myself have often times awoken in the luggage compartment of a luxury personal jet smelling of gold bullion, crab legs, various lubricants, and other scents of decadence. Depending on the millionaire, said lubricants can range from common 5W-30 to high grade KY products. You'll never know for sure where you'd been, you'd just know that you'd been there.

But I digress, as for my encounter, I was lucky this time. I remained cool and collected, and kept my poise (although Asians do have a tendency to come off as less threatening to me). He approached very close to me and had something to give me. Before I even had a chance to inspect the item for its usefulness or danger as a poison (caution would be used), he realized his error and changed his path, apologizing frantically. I'm sure he thought that was very amusing. Good morning, I hope you enjoy your breakfast. Then he left. These are the times we live in. Rejoice. Good luck.
