Not really. I remember this one time I was in Pennsylvania and I was at a convenience store, pondering the very source of the term "convenient". I'd taken a sharp left into the toiletries section, browsing the pressed pulp that was paper shit tickets, basking in the idea that soon these would be my own. I pulled my 2-liter bottle of RC-Cola from the shadowy abyss of the cart, the light was cold and pale against its thing, plastic skin. I thought of Leeman, and that time we went to disney world, and then everything went dark.
It must've been hours later when I awoke. The room was dark, and smelled slightly reminiscent of citrus. A figure walked from the depths of the shadows, and slapped me over the face with something. chicken. Raw chicken. I hadn't felt this sensation since 'nam, and yet it feels so fresh, as though I had been dealing with it all my life. He questioned me for hours, slapping me with that chicken. But I don't speak english, and he was asking me questions about Canada, the resistance, and the coming of the slick overture of Maple Soldiers. Finally, something clicked in his brain. either the realization that I didn't know what he was talking about, or the sudden urgency of a powerful impending bowel movement gripped him by his very soul, but he stopped, dropped the chicken, and ran off into the shadows.
I grabbed the slick meat in my hands, and used it to cut my bindings. I was completely nude, but this wasn't a new situation. I escaped, just barely, through a window in the kitchen. I never saw or heard from the guy again. but I wonder about that chicken. It was marinated, and certainly tender. such a waste of good poultry.
