Floyd | Floyd | In the planning stages no one said, "How about testing the Floyd | responsiveness of the city's police force by holding the Local Floyd | Hardcore Band Rave-Kill Jamboree here at the house we've been lucky Floyd | enough to squat for so long." Floyd | Floyd | No, the preliminary excitement contained phrases more to do with Floyd | setting a reasonable charge for admission, with drawing new female Floyd | regulars to the already prolific girl-haunt, and with forecasting what Floyd | simple shit-faced joy it was going to bring when everyone was swept up Floyd | in the event. It was to be your first taste of what living away from Floyd | home was all about. Seventeen years immersed in study of how not to Floyd | resemble your parents is more than plenty, and you're not about to Floyd | reenroll. Not even now. Floyd | Floyd | Aching in your head is last night's memory of cherries swirling Floyd | through the neighborhood as blue and red silhouettes scattered Floyd | staggering into the burbs like so many intoxicated ants deaf to the Floyd | blaring megaphones. Fresh is the memory because it happened only Floyd | several wakeful hours ago. For the time being you loiter on a city Floyd | bus, catching glimpses of sleep and letting the constant movement dull Floyd | the dawning questions of destination, finance and future. | ||

Floyd ] In Transit 0/1 Floyd | A Walk in the Park Floyd | fresh air / green hair Floyd | From MSI Floyd | Copyright (c) 2001 by George K George. Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 091120 / Inform v6.21 Library 6/10 SD Floyd | Floyd | In Transit (on the plastic seat) Floyd | Decay glides by your starboard window. The interior of the bus is Floyd | typical of the few other units mournfully roaming the streets of the Floyd | city on any given day: a middle-aged driver squats in the front, Floyd | advertisements for impotence drugs and rhinoplasty and soft drinks Floyd | line the ceiling, and a number of kids sporting team logos slouch in Floyd | plastic flesh-tone seats. Floyd | Floyd | Your material burden includes your studded sweatshirt (being worn), Floyd | inside which are three quarters, two dimes, a nickel and a letter from Floyd | Dad. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "read letter" | ||
Floyd ] In Transit 0/2 Floyd | Floyd | > READ LETTER Floyd | Floyd | It'd be easier to read if you were holding it in your hand. Floyd | Floyd | Pads and drums squeal to compensate for another driver's apparent need Floyd | for a brake-check. "Come on now!" grunts the driver. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "oh, I guess the letter's in the sweatshirt." | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take letter" | ||
Floyd ] In Transit 0/3 Floyd | Floyd | > TAKE LETTER Floyd | Floyd | Swiped. Floyd | Floyd | One of the kids mumbles something to his friend, after which they both Floyd | smirk in your direction. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "read letter" | ||
Floyd ] In Transit 0/4 Floyd | Floyd | > READ LETTER Floyd | Floyd | Since you left, your little brother has been acting as the messenger Floyd | of the god your father feels he is. His "care packages" seem always to Floyd | come in the form of unmarked envelopes containing neatly folded typing Floyd | paper of infinite felt-tipped insight into the teenaged human Floyd | condition. Floyd | Floyd | "Dear Son," The usual. Floyd | "I know it has been several weeks... ...Mom is okay..." Floyd | "...the finer things in life..." Blah, blah- Hey, look at that! The Floyd | word "responsibility" and its root in the same sentence. Floyd | Floyd | Loosening parts of the bus's frame rattle violently as you bounce over Floyd | a gauntlet of potholes. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "A bit odd that it's in the shirt, but yeah." | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "put letter in shirt" | ||
Floyd ] In Transit 0/5 Floyd | Floyd | > PUT LETTER IN SHIRT Floyd | Floyd | You put the letter from Dad into the studded sweatshirt. Floyd | Floyd | The bus lurches around a street corner. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x kids" | ||
Floyd ] In Transit 0/6 Floyd | Floyd | > X KIDS Floyd | Floyd | They are huddled twice over. Once in their group and again in their Floyd | bulky poly-fill jackets. Occasionally one will murmur something to the Floyd | mild agreement of some of the others, but for the most part they let Floyd | the steady stream of metropolitan stimuli slide off their NFL licensed Floyd | backs. Floyd | Floyd | Pads and drums squeal to compensate for another driver's apparent need Floyd | for a brake-check. "Come on now!" grunts the driver. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | The bus driver strikes you in no elegant way. This is made even truer
Floyd | by the sagging location of his trousers and what lies above.

Floyd ] In Transit 0/7
Floyd | There is a screech, muffled thump and horrible whinnying when the
Floyd | beast of burden of the 19th century is sent sprawling on impact with
Floyd | the beast of burden of the 20th century on 77th and Bridgemont.
Floyd | "Goddammit!" rages the driver. He storms out of the bus, on to the
Floyd | street gesturing like a referee with tourrets.
Floyd |
Floyd | After some sociological reaction time, the jacketed posse wander to
Floyd | the front of the bus and exit as well.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| DavidW asks, "uh, did the bus hit a horse?" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "I'm not sure..." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "look outside" | ||
Floyd ] In Transit 0/7 Floyd | Floyd | > LOOK OUTSIDE Floyd | Floyd | What do you want to look outside? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "bus" | ||
Floyd ] In Transit 0/8 Floyd | Floyd | > BUS Floyd | Floyd | It would be easier to scope out your location if you were outside the Floyd | bus. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "uh, go out?" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah." | ||
| DavidW says, "Since this bus has no windows." | ||

Floyd ] Scene of Gore 0/10 Floyd | Floyd | > OUT Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Scene of Gore Floyd | What is unusual about what you see here is not the middle-aged bus Floyd | driver spraying a French tuxedoed man in the face with explitives, the Floyd | the overturned buggy down the block, nor the clearly troubled couple Floyd | cradling one another in horror, but the four brown horse hooves Floyd | jutting out from under the front of the bus at unlike angles. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "I doubt there's much more to the bus." | |
| DavidW says, "There were ads." | ||

Floyd |
Floyd | > X HORSE
Floyd |
Floyd | The horse has borne its final burden. It lies partially under the bus
Floyd | in what must be considered a humiliating pose universally in the
Floyd | animal kingdom. You feel some sympathy for the fallen beast, its
Floyd | ancestry ripped from wide open pastures, trickling streams and
Floyd | everything else you imagine real nature to consist of; and brought
Floyd | here expected to adapt to things like stoplights and bus drivers.
Floyd | You're keeping some hope it could still be alive.
Floyd |
Floyd | ...
| Knight_Otu says, "We didn't seem too interested in them." | |
| DavidW says, "We seem uninterested in most things." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "True." | ||

Floyd | the array.

Floyd ] Scene of Gore 0/12
Floyd |
Floyd | > X CARRIAGE DRIVER
Floyd |
Floyd | He's seems to be taking it awfully well; politely defending his
Floyd | position in a deluge of loud, close range saliva bullets. He gives
Floyd | saddened glances at the front of the bus when the bus driver is "Uh,
Floyd | uh, and'ing," to formulate another string of vulgar abuse.
Floyd |
Floyd | A squad car pulls up, a Blue Boy exits and begins "What's the
Floyd | troubl'ing?" everyone like he was born to do it. A moderated argument
Floyd | ensues heatedly over whether a horse pulling a buggy turning right on
Floyd | red has the right of way over a driver in a bus with a duty to uphold
Floyd | to the city and which of the two was in fact born with both
Floyd | hemispheres.
Floyd |
Floyd | ...
| Knight_Otu says, "Man, first cruelty to cats, now dead horses." | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x blue boy" | ||
Floyd ] Scene of Gore 0/13
Floyd | Your fascination with the accident subsides and the situation is filed
Floyd | in your memory banks with countless other bizarre and enthralling
Floyd | images this city has presented you in your short life. Noticing your
Floyd | surroundings now, you realize you're not lost, but may as well be
Floyd | shipwrecked for availability of transportation. The city's budgeters
Floyd | cut out most of the bus lines to fund the monorail project and the
Floyd | taxi system hasn't yet caught up. Not that you have the scratch to
Floyd | call a cab anyway.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x couple" | ||
Floyd ] Scene of Gore 0/14 Floyd | Floyd | > X COUPLE Floyd | Floyd | Two nervous LL Bean clad platinum cardholders. Unfortunate tourists Floyd | probably wishing they'd checked out the monorail instead. The male Floyd | specimen is doing his best to comfort his rattled mate between Floyd | reluctant glances at the dead animal sprawling from under the front of Floyd | the bus. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x bus driver" | ||
Floyd ] Scene of Gore 0/15 Floyd | Floyd | > X BUS DRIVER Floyd | Floyd | The bus driver strikes you in no elegant way. This is made even truer Floyd | by the sagging location of his trousers and what lies above. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x kids" | ||
Floyd ] Scene of Gore 0/16 Floyd | Floyd | > X KIDS Floyd | Floyd | The kids aren't to be found. They must have scattered to find Floyd | alternate transportation or other such loitering ground. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "exits" | ||
Floyd ] Scene of Gore 0/16 Floyd | Floyd | > EXITS Floyd | Floyd | That's not recognizable verb. Sorry. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "l" | ||
Floyd ] Scene of Gore 0/17 Floyd | Floyd | > L Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Scene of Gore Floyd | You're not lost, but this is unfamiliar concrete and steel. It's not Floyd | all such substance, however. The northeast offers an asphalt walk Floyd | through perpendicular rows of shrubbery. Trees shade the walkway Floyd | beyond the uni-shrubs. Sidewalk rolls out from the street corner to Floyd | the north and east. Floyd | Floyd | Perhaps most notable are a police officer and two men filling out Floyd | forms in front of a young couple, bus-struck horse and overturned Floyd | carriage. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I suppose we either try talking to one of these people or leaving. And I suspect talking won't help at all." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, I guess we should be leaving." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Given the sentence you quoted." | ||
| Knight_Otu asks, "North-east?" | ||
| DavidW asks, "I think our exits are north, northeast, and east?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "That's what I'm getting." | ||
| DavidW says, "northeast sounds good to me" | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "ne" | ||
Floyd ] W. Corridor of Leaves 0/18 Floyd | Floyd | > NE Floyd | Floyd | You stroll through the foliage of circumstance... Floyd | Floyd | W. Corridor of Leaves Floyd | Autumn vortices homogenize leaves and bits of litter into damp, matted Floyd | piles that obscure most of the asphalt walkway stretching both Floyd | northeast and southwest. From beyond the surrounding arbor, horns and Floyd | motors accompany the ambient chirping, whistling and rustling of the Floyd | park. A thin dirt path forks off to the north. Floyd | Floyd | Posted here is a freshly custom manufactured sign. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

"Camping," as if the city's Floyd | homeless population have cameras to snap photos of common birds and Floyd | ingredients to make marshmallow sandwiches in their steel drum fire Floyd | pits.

Floyd ] Mother Nature's Last Stand 0/20 Floyd | Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Mother Nature's Last Stand Floyd | If you were sweltering in the oven of summer smog convection, the Floyd | brown padlocked shed here might offer relief in the form of reddish Floyd | slush or- if luck had it -pistachio ice cream. Wintering adolescent Floyd | maples sway over a thin dirt path heading south. Floyd | Floyd | Some consolation for the shed's seasonal schedule, a soda pop machine Floyd | glows and hums expectantly. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "ah, I half-expected a vending machine, considering the change we have in our sweatshirt." | |

Floyd ] Mother Nature's Last Stand 0/21 Floyd | Floyd | > X MACHINE Floyd | Floyd | It's an automated franchise of OK Cola corp. equipped to quench the Floyd | thirsts of a slackening populous. Floyd | "d choice of d generation," it proclaims. Floyd | Glacing at the buttons, it seems they've excluded only Kahlua Mudslide Floyd | on an unescaped illegality. The external hardware includes a digital Floyd | display, a coin slit, a coin return lever, four fist-sized rectangular Floyd | buttons and a soda pop catch at the bottom. Seventy-five cents is the Floyd | asking for the majority of selections. Floyd | The digital display scrolls: nICE COLd OH COLA. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Centralized Park Location 0/31 Floyd | Floyd | > NE Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Centralized Park Location Floyd | Sunlight flittering through a canopy of poplar casts a shifting Floyd | grayscale mosaic on an intersection in the asphalt walkway; a warming Floyd | vision on such an exceptionally personally and in most other ways Floyd | dismal autumn Saturday. The walkways stretch out in the four Floyd | diagonals. Floyd | Floyd | Alongside a peeling bench is a rubbish receptacle. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Centralized Park Location 0/37 Floyd | Floyd | > TAKE VIAL Floyd | Floyd | You happen to be just tall enough to do so without actually climbing Floyd | into the receptacle to get at it. The task does not spare you from Floyd | looking a bit ridiculous. The park guard standing nearby would Floyd | probably find your green chaos-spiked hair and studded sweatshirt Floyd | ridiculous in most any gymnastic manifestation, and maybe less so Floyd | diving head first into a park garbage can. Such are things. He strolls Floyd | off without a comment nonetheless. Floyd | Floyd | > | Guenni says, "Sorry for dropping out on you.

Hall of Leaves Floyd | Breezes loosen unfallen leaves from their branches and arrange them in Floyd | dense piles underfoot. Torn wrappers and other city crust litter a Floyd | black vein of asphalt stretching northwest to the buffered din of city Floyd | traffic and southeast deeper into the park.

A previously unseen leaf pile, Floyd | from which the bony arm owning the bony hand sprung, bursts apart, and Floyd | a thin figure now shadows down upon you with primal suspicion.

Floyd ] N. Hall of Leaves 0/42 Floyd | panic Floyd | The figure looks up and down at you. When satisfied, he releases your Floyd | wrist with a snort and turns his attention to the guitar case, which Floyd | he carefully inspects inside and out, counting the contained items Floyd | with a skeletal index finger.

Floyd ] N. Hall of Leaves 0/43
Floyd | You take a few involuntary steps back in relief. The figure- it is
Floyd | clear now that the adrenaline has worn off -is an elderly man garbed
Floyd | in layers of flannel. He pulls a houndstooth hat and some reading

Floyd | picks up the case by its handle and delves intently into reading his
