circle of hell 5.2

[rm]

Someone pulled the emergency break on my train this morning, meaning, having just drank a full bottle of Gatorade I was trapped on the train and forced to listen to two Bear Sterns trainees get everything wrong about the bond market ever. When I looked up at the woman, who was making some vague sense, she looked at me not with eye-rolling annoyance at her companion, but with a sad and angry desperation -- she was flirting and I was not to reveal that this man was stupid, lest she get caught out for agreeing.

Meanwhile, tourist teenagers tried to reassure themselves that if we were all about to die at the hands of terrorists, "someone would be running through the cars screaming, right?"

Ah HA! That's what the delays were. I was half an hour late for work this morning because of it.
