       Story #22
       Journeys
       Why do weirdos and drunks insist on sitting next to me on the
       train? I note a near empty carriage as he plonks himself down.
       He smells of cigarettes and BO. He’s talking to me, oblivious
       that my noncommittal grunts and active concentration on my book
       are hints for him to shut up. He’s telling me about the job he
       hates, how his wife left him and the ingratitude of his kids. I
       start to feel pity and anger in equal measure, no doubt it’s all
       his fault but I know he’s only human.
       Journeys with my dad are stressful.
