I've noticed that during somewhat inclement weather, a strange phenomenon occurs. People, otherwise hidden away from public view, start to crawl out of wherever it was they were lurking. For example, on Friday the already horrible traffic in Portsmouth was even more horrible (I know, hard to imagine). The creepy thing is, it's not just any ordinary type of person. It seems to be the lowest common denominator of the Human species. People with missing teeth. People with a perverse privation of physical fitness. Scary people.
Where did they come from? They weren't in the shops yesterday. I've met none of them at the Post Office. As far as I know, July 11 2003 is not a holiday. Yeah, it was raining, and that tends to bring people out of their homes... but so many of them?
One theory is that there were alien-sown people-seeds in the dry soil all around the NH seacoast, and the rain caused them to sprout. That would explain their apparent evil intentions of aggravating me. It could be part of an invasion. The aliens know that they won't encounter any resistance from us if we're too fed up with traffic to protect ourselves.
Another theory is that like Mogwai some people were fed after midnight. Then, when the rain came... Pop! Pop! Pop! They started to bud from each other. Each new spawnling ready to disrupt society by getting in people's way at the mall, talking on cell phones in restaurants, and driving really slowly (with the left directional on) in already contentious traffic.
It's Saturday morning now, and it's still a bit rainy out. I'm supposed to go to class soon... but I'm afraid of the traffic. Then again, they may need me out there to help defend the Human race...
