"Let's go watch a movie!" "Okay."
We walk seemingly nowhere but somewhere at the same time. I realize it yet I don't..
I lead my best friend into a bathroom, I always had a problem with my bladder, and to my surprise I see multiple genders within.
"Hello, miss! Can you hold this for me?" a knelt man held something rather interesting as he asked an infant child to look after it whilst he went inside the stall.
An eye on the small furry animal, I quickly make my continued quick business with the stall. As I walk out with my friend leaning on the wall with her cell phone in hand, no doubt talking to her husband, I ask the girl where the hamster is.
The mom within the stall told me on a counter. I turn to see the little guy scared and balled up. I pick him up gently and hold him with care, petting him with the joy I waited for.
After the frequent fondling from both of us, the man came out and washed his hands. I try to return his furry bundle of joy.
"Nope." Not even a rein of his head...
I insist saying it's his and he leaves. A distasteful thought in my head told me he implying something of the sort of: "He's your problem now."
I look at my friend. There was no way I'd be able to keep a live hamster...
As we walk out of the bathroom, confusion in mind, we continued to try to give away the hamster. No one would take it. An unspoken word of knowledge told me that this hamster was something special, some sort of scientific spectacular.
After a while I finally decide to give up. I was to keep this hamster; but that didn't mean I had to miss the movies.
We continue out towards the door, ready to go to the movies, I was stopped by quite a few scientists. Random tiny failed distractions told me something was beginning to happen, something was going on.
I navigate our way through the crowds, ignoring and turning down conversations, yet as I almost reach the door, I'm stopped by a lady.
This lady told me I needed to be part of a symphony. I assumed i'd be watching but as she opened the door, I seemed to be on the wrong end...
Completely done, I just stood there, hoping my famous patience wouldn't leave me. The harpist left and I was handed half of an antelope skull.
"Now, it is your turn."
I looked at her with such anger. "After this, can I leave already?!" She nodded and I tried to play as fast as I could.
At first it was easy to make the sound, but I feared the hamster on my shoulder would be uncomfortable. I set it on my lap and tried to play, blowing into the teeth harder with no avail.
After a while, I was able to stop and I returned the skull. As I was led out I continued to try to stray yet I knew without my best friend I couldn't leave...
In anger about how many distractions, I drowned in my anger... And woke up hating hamsters...
