LOST.

Friday the 13th.

One day after I completed that personal glitch.



The weather's bad. Our plans of travelling up north to Wisconsin has been consistently cancelled due to tornadoes and floods.


We decided to return to Gurnee yesterday @ 6pm. That was graphed at the last minute.

Bad. Not enough to explore the warzone (aka: MALL)



845 pm. After conquering A/F, Gap, American Eagle and Tommy Hil, my senses directed me to Banana Rep

9pm. I chatted with 2 ladies from Negros whom I just met. Just the same, they thought I'm Chinese.

930pm. Paid everything. 6 items, not even £25. Good.
Then I noticed that they have already closed. Bad.

935pm. Everyone seems to be in a herd. I followed one herd.

A lot of Exits.

I went to the wrong carpark.

Did I tell you that the area was massive?

I was in an unfamiliar territory.

LOST.


Unfortunate Events:
  1. Place was secluded.
  2. Aunt's fone - I couldn't connect
  3. Nath's Phone- I couldn't connect
  4. Anne's personal phone - I couldn't connect.
  5. Patrick - Only 7... no phone.

How do you spell shit?


Alas! Anne's work's phone... and it rang. Let's do math coz I love math...

How much is it to use UK line in US soil? £2.50/min (exc tax)?

How many times did I phone? 6 times?

How long was I in that uncharted soil? 30 minutes?

How many patrols have I seen? 3?

How many cars were there in THAT car park when I began my saga? a lot?

How many carparks were there? a lot?

Chances of me being in the wrong carpark? 99/100?

How many cars were there after 20 minutes of voiceless saga? 15 (or even less)?

LOST. Experience. Anxiety. Priceless.


PTSD.

Post Traumatic Stress Dollally.

How many KFC have I eaten? a lot?

Oh by the way, Im into this game now (ahem).

p.s

9th Day. Maybe tonight PopEye... maybe tonight...

I'm hoping for some hits from

UKRAINE.

UKRAINE.

UKRAINE.

UKRAINE.

30 picked a peck of pickled pepper:
