Chapter 5
Wednesday.
Chris had eaten the last of his
food, and wasn't full, he found an
apple or two on a tree in another parking
lot. It wasn't in Chris's nature to steal,
but if he didn't, he would surely faint,
so he pulled the apples off of the tree
and ran, fortunately, no one saw him.
Again, the circle-walk, round and round,
Chris hadn't any more diapers so
he had an accident.
He began wobbling in the heat,
things got very bright, it was about
2pm.
Soon Chris found himself bumping
into people, stumbling and shuffling
along the circle-walk, until everything
went BLACK.
Chris fell to the ground with a WHUMP!
The people yelled at him to "get up!"
but Chris could not hear them, and
people grumbled as they walked around
him.
Just then, a car pulls up and a stout woman
with a large video camera, she had been
taping the whole thing.
"Oh good lord, not the press again!"
Someone grumbled.
"What's the meaning of this?" the woman
demanded. "Is no one going to help him?"
"Don't cross the line lady!" a guy growled.
"Oh don't worry, I won't cross your precious
line!" She snorted as she pulled out her cell
phone. "I will just call him an ambulance from
here!" She dialed very quickly, told the dispatcher
what was going on and where she was,, and in
a minute, the ambulance was there, taking
the limp Chris away.
She then called the cops, then her
office.
"Hey Ted, you guys are never going to
believe this crap----" She began.
"Hey lady, whatcha doin' tonight?"
hooted some loser. She just rolled
her eyes as she finished her call
with "--and send Diane out here too!"
It was only 2:30 before more press
and police arrived.
One of the circle-walkers threw a stick
at a cop. Big Mistake.
Of course, a riot broke out, and the
cameras were rolling, taking it all in
on their little magnetic tapes.
