Nano Day Four: Something with more body

My blogs have been pathetic lately.  Seriously, just a word or two so that I can say "look I wrote today."  So for now, lets try something with a little bit more body.

When your sad and bored on the city train, your mind tends to wander.  So today I made up a lovely story about two people who were sitting within my line of sight.  As I was entering the train, there was a man in front of me reading the paper.  He had long hair, chin length, a scraggly beard and a brown leather jacket. Naturally, I didn't say anything to him but we both boarded the train next to each other.  He took a sideways facing seat, and I took a forward facing one.  Normally, the train is totally empty but today there was one guy sleeping with his legs up across the seat next to him.  I sat directly behind him silently judging him for not having a home and taking up so much space so that no one else could sit there.  His entire face was covered by a beanie, a turtle neck and his blue hoodie.

And because I have an over active imagination, this is their story.

The guy in a leather jacket was CLEARLY some kind of supernatural creature hunter and he knew something would be on that train today.  However, he also knew that the creature would sense him if he showed up being his hunter self, so he read the paper instead.  After I sat down behind the guy in the hoodie, he turned into the creature, removing his hoodie and turtle neck and beanie to show me his gruesome face and sharp teeth.  Because I'm a girl and this is my day dream, he naturally came to attack me and the hunter killed him with a cross bow (how else would he do it?!?).


And that's how to pass the time on the train during a Los Angeles Rain Storm.

P.S. I caught up last night, with the help of my wonderful motivational boyfriend who refused to be around me or kiss me until I finished my word count.  I love him <3  So today I need to get my minimum and then some finished.  Good luck my fellow nanoers!

the end.
