A walk in the dark


So i drove to a nice part of town i go to often for a late walk tonight. Well when i got there the area was really dark, turns out some of the streets had lost power so all the street lights and home lights were out. It was pitch black and kinda creepy. Well i was not to be deterred and thought it would be cool to job in the darkness anyway (im all about darkness, rain, clouds and gloom anyways so it was like Christmas in September for me).

So as i jogged along i started thinking about The Walking Dead and zombies as i so often do when i walk the quiet streets at night. At some point i was freaking myself out so much i considered cutting the walk short (any excuse to reduce exercise time you know >.< ) but then i looked down at my stomach and put my hand to it (if anyone that was partially blind saw me they might think, oh look an expectant mother; the baby must be kicking) and i was like bitch you better keep moving forward. So then i got lost in an exciting new thought...

I was like OK, if there was a zombie apocalypse what kind of mutant power would I want to have in order to have the best chance at survival (without getting cheap like time warping and super sonic travel and the like). So I was going through scenarios in my mind, if i could fly it would be amazing but I'd have to land and I'd still need food and sleep; i could sleep outside if it was warm but in the Winter? If i could turn invisible would be amazing but they could still smell me and I'd still need to find food, if I could run fast would be cool but what if I came to a dead end or thousands of them and so on. I was snapped out of my nightdream by barking, a dog was following me and it was not happy. Needless to say my sweat levels increased and i kept walking, the dogs owner was walking behind the dog and i trying to call the dog back and the dog was paying as much attention to its owner as i would pay two women making out . This was shortly after midnight so I'm sure the neighborhood was loving it. After much screaming on her part and sweating on mine the dog decided to pay attention to her owner. So i was taken out of my virtual scare by a real life scare :/

As i was trying to calm myself down and just two minutes after the dog left i stumbled upon two cute ass bunnies in someones lawn right near the sidewalk. They were not the least bit concerned that i was coming their way. I stopped to talk to them and tell them how precious they were in case they weren't sure about their preciousness status already. They watched calmly as i made a public spectacle of myself and made me feel better. I completely forgot about the dog. I thanked the bunnies and was on my way. I felt like Pocahontas in  a concrete jungle, all that was missing were some braids in my hair, well and maybe a canoe and a stream.
