Walked to the mall not quite blindflolded
listening to music on headphones and thinking about
a good spot
to close my eyes and sink into the song
Made a stop at the ladies’ room and had a seat
Glancing over the the left i noticed a pair of boots
through the bottom opening of the partition and realized
i was not alone
Silence
Had a feeling they had been there for sometime
How long? What had they heard while they were there?
Creeped me out but i waited a while anyways – for the flush
Silence
Not a drizzle, not a breath, not even the sound of a boot shuffle
Creeped me out some more
Took my time and washed my hands a couple of times to pass the time
and checked out the power hand dryers
More silence
Left the room and stuck around for a while with an eye on the corridor access to see signs of life, but there were none
