late night stroll

after being cranky, bored and lonely all night [personal choosing], i took a walk to lighten my mood. a scrawny asian man with an equally scrawny goatee and wife beater approached me. with arms exaggerating each word he asked "have you seen... ah.... a... female walking around?"

i said no since i had been preoccupied trying to remember how a dime ended up in my right pants pocket (stamp purchasing)... but as i walked away, i wondered if he's the kind of guy i should have pointed towards "a female walking around"... or if she was notably missing for a reason...
