[M4A] Goofy Stranger at the Park

Transcript

Hey, mind if I sit here? Thanks. My coffee's gone cold.

Here I was, looking forward to my morning walk. I even woke up earlier just so I could sit here and enjoy my morning coffee. And then I spent too long just trying to find a bunch.

Oh well. Still pretty decent. I'm not very bummed out.

How's your morning going? It's nice here, isn't it? I enjoy seeing the dogs.

I don't think it's a dedicated dog park, but there sure are many dog walkers out here. It's more like a bark park. I don't have a dog myself, I just like them.

Do you have a dog? What's your favorite breed? I just like all dogs, but if I had to choose, Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

I had one when I was younger, so I guess I'm biased. I'm not sure if it's about the breed itself or if that was just my dog's personality, but she would always lay anywhere there was sun. She was addicted to it.

It was so cute. Just like a coin-sized spot of sunlight, she'd be laying there. And she'd be moving with the sun's motions too.

Oh, I miss her. Oh, you've got music on your ears. I hope I'm not disturbing you with my talking, am I? No? Good.

I didn't notice until now. So, what music are you listening to, if you don't mind me asking? Oh, not music.

So, like a podcast? Not that either. Audiobook? Kinda, huh? So, you're listening to stories.

I see. Stories where the speaker addresses you directly. Is that like a self-help kind of thing? Stories where the speaker seduces you and.

.. Oh. Oh! Alright, alright.

I think I know what you mean. I would have never thought. That's certainly interesting.

I never listened to those before, but they must be good if that's how you spend your mornings. So, what's this one about? A Norwegian farm boy.

Sounds pretty specific. Well, I'm sure it's enjoyable. So, hey, I can't actually sit here for much longer.

I spent so much time just looking for this bench. I've got plans for today. But.

.. Fuck it. I think you're pretty cool, from the little that we've spoken.

I might regret it later if I don't do this. Do you want to grab lunch sometime? I know we just met and it's not like we know each other or anything, but I think it would be neat.

Oh, yeah? Well, awesome. I didn't think that would actually work.

Well, here's my number. So, how about you send me a text and we can talk more later. Yeah? Well, it's been nice meeting you, stranger.

I'm looking forward to not being strangers anymore. See you later, then. Enjoy your audio story.

Bye.
