BAD ATM, BAD!

The sky was a beautiful deep indigo and vast above the tree tops in the distance. The stars... so many stars... shone and twinkled brightly and the longer we looked the more we observed a cluster of them begin to take specific shape. A very specific shape. The body, the bow, the tail all clearly defined. "I've never seen stars define the subject so exactly" I told the person to my left (the only other witness to this natural spectacle). Sagittarius. The archer. Mutable and Fiery. Sitting poised and ready to strike an arrow of knowledge and adventure into the sky and reverie into our hearts.

Just then a helicopter flew across the sky and released a fiery object over a building in the distance. The object descended in what seemed like slow motion and exploded upon contact. We then saw many other such objects begin their descent and started to panic. 'here we go running around' i thought to myself as I watched people mildlessly scatter (where did they all come from?), my instincts dictated we run further into the forest while my consort ran right to the middle of the clearing. Stupid indeed, as we got picked up by an unfriendly cabby who drove us away in what was most likely a hijacking.

There is a strange bitterness in my mouth after eating. Even now, after my morning bagel I can taste it. At first I thought it was a 3-day tunafish salad sandwich I ate yesterday and hoped I won't get sick, but then, at night, it happened again after eating several squares of pineapple white chocolate and now again. What is this?

A young woman wearing a tropical print mini skirt and white cami, was not getting what she wanted out of the ATM. "This is a bad ATM", she said, "a very bad ATM".
