A Regular Day In Ohio

It all began on a Saturday afternoon in Ohio. I was a normal person living a normal life. I didn’t have a wife or any kids, but I was still havin’ a good time. Still I had always felt there was somethin’ missin’. So I took a sick day from working at the post office and went for a walk around the park. It was a beautiful day and I felt like I had done the right thing. I yawned and sat down on a bench, watching three ducks fight each other for a piece of bread. I sat on that bench for hours watching the wildlife and people walk by and laughing at what some did and said.

Unfortunately I fell asleep.

When I woke up I was still on the bench, except now there was no one out. It was dark, I could see that, but I had this creeping feeling something was going to go wrong. Because bad things happen when its dark out in Ohio.
