The bag lady and the good samaritan

THIRTEEN packed carrier bags splayed out on the sidewalk. Bus stopped a few fete away. The bag lady, Keira, dashed on with a bag in either hand. Pointing in the driver's face and occasionally, at the remaining bags, she argued with him forcefully. The driver responded with wild, vehement, emphatic hand gestures. If she was trying to compel him to move the bus closer to her bags; she failed. She started collecting the others; in twos.


 As the sole male passenger present, Celtics, was tempted to help her but something kept him back. His guilt mounted, yet he stayed put.


FINALLY, A GOOD SAMARITAN TO THE RESCUE.


GOOD SAMARITAN, Shiloh:(to bag lady)

 May I help you



KEIRA:(snaps sharply)

 NO!



It was at that precise moment that it suddenly dawned on Celtics that he had seen this woman in action before. Luckily, this time, he was a mere spectator.


 Celtics chuckled as the Shiloh exchanged bewildered and amused looks with others milling about. The atmosphere inside the bus looked quite tense. Passengers were already inflamed that the bus was taking such a long time to drive off. Keira noticed the baggage rack was empty. However, she passed it and rudely drove passengers out of their seats.



 Four passengers refused to vacate their seats. This attracted applause from outside. When the woman finally sat down, her legs were wide open; to accommodate the rest of the bags between them.


Celtics was tempted to put his Facebook camera to use, by jumping on the bus for what promised to be a blockbuster joyride.

Hollande:(points at small box lying on sidewalk)

LOOK! It MUST be jewellery inside the box. I wander who lost it. (looks around curiously)



David:

WHO CARES? We are rich! Tired of landlords and sharing house with strangers, Tired of feeling like DREGS


Hollande:

 ....No offence Birdman, but I'm tired of walking up and down the sidewalk behind you, like a darn BIRDBRAIN. The time is ripe for a scooter. It seems our breakthrough has finally come, David. So grin all you want



 Birdman:

 Calm down guys. Lets go over to the bench and see what's inside



 David:(thunders)

WHAT THE HELL? A bunch of keys with name tags? ugh!


 Birdman:

This name tags are weird....A SWORD, THE MOON, CORIANDER, ABSORPTION...



Hollande: A SUNRISE, Big toe....



 David:

VINEGAR?... DOMINO TABLE....I bet the owner is CRAZY



Birdman:

What we gonna do with it?



 David:

I have a feeling this could bring us bad-luck. Let is THROW IT IN THE BIN


 Hollande:

 Are you mad? That's what will bring us bad luck. Someone has to keep it. NOT ME!


 Birdman:

Me neither:


David: well, that was not my idea



Birdman: I know it's naughty


DAVID:

 Let's hear it...we'll be the judge of that


 Birdman: Let's bring back the neighbour's piece of board, then leave this THING there as well



Hollande:

That's very naughty.



David:

I like it. Let them deal with it


 Hollande:

 It's better that way. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- please LIKE http://www.facebook.com/allthaTRAGE please FOLLOW http://allthatrageseries.blogspot.com/ please follow SIDEWALK LOOKS http://sidewalknarratives.blogspot.com/
