Homewards

In the dark before dawn of the 22nd of February of 2022, I trudged to the corner convenience store to acquire a can of cold Thai tea drink, three packets of instant noodles, and a bag of fried pork rinds. As I drank my orange-brownish tea drink outside, I could hear mystical East Indian music playing. A red van was parked near the store entrance. Walking homewards, I saw a parked sports utility vehicle playing dark instrumental music.

He anxiously descended the ladder, and started homewards at a run, trying not to think of giants, Herne the Hunter, Apollyon lying in wait for Christian, or of the captain with the bleeding hole in his forehead and the corpses round him that remutinied every night on board the bewitched ship.

At the end of the day we gratefully set off in a homewards direction.

We're now heading homewards.
