“Ha!
Ha! Did you see their bloody faces?” The man’s voice booms in the silent,
crowded train, making every passenger sit up and wonder. His female companion
clasps her hands firmly on her chest, as they sit. The train starts rambling on
battling the rain storm. It is around nine o’clock at night; still light and
clear, like north hemisphere’s summers are.
The
man keeps blinking his eyelids rapidly: “That was a good smack in the face!” He
booms arrogantly; a bassy voice ejected out of his skinny frame. The volume is
loud, the manner crass and rude. She cuddles up to him.
He kisses her sharply
and passionately on the neck then booms again:
“You
liked it when I smacked him didn’t you, darling?”
She
giggles.
