Walk Through the Park

Zoongash trudged along through the downpour. There was something about the rain that calmed Zoongash's nerves.It was as if the rain washed away all of his problems, allowing him to for a brief moment to put his violent past beihind him. Zoongash decided to cut through the park on his way back, deciding to avoid the splashing cars that roared by. He was half way through when he noticed something underneath the slide. At first he couldn't decipher what the big object was until it suddenly moved. He then realized it was actually a women huddled under the slide, trying to find some shelter from the torrential rains that came down around her. "Maybe I should help," thought Zoongash. It was not often that Zoongash considered acting so compassionately, but it was something about the rain that seemed to change the way Zoongash acted. In the end his bitter cold-heart won out and he merely waved his hand in the direction of the slide and walked away. All the way back to Mo Liquor, no matter how hard he tried he could not put the women out of his head. He tried to justify walking away by telling himself that maybe she had a reason for being there and just wanted to be outside during the storm, but he had trouble believing this himself. Zoongash just shook is head, " Bloody Americans". He doubted that he would have any business until the storm died down, so he decided to order some noodles from Chan's. Within the next hour Zoongash received his food had managed to finish the entire bowl of curry noodles. As he was cleaning up form his meal he noticed that he had yet to eat his fortune cookie. He tore through the wrapper and cracked open the cookie. As he stuffed the cookie in his mouth he read the small text on the paper. "What goes around comes around". As he read the fortune his hands began to shake and images of the woman under the slide began to run through hs head. "Bloody Americans".
