Tuesday, December 12, 2006 Vibrations
Standing by the road, waiting for the company bus to go home. 2 am, I am tired, the phone in my pocket vibrates.
It's a feeling that strikes fear into me. It usually means work.
I pull out the phone, I see it's my home calling.
"How come you're not home yet?" asked my mum. She sounds sleepy.
"Work mah," I reply, slightly annoyed.
"So late?"
"It's normal what."
"Still must call mah. Scare me so late still not home."
"Okay."
The bus is fast today, and I get off at the bus stop, my usual stop. I am feeling sorry for being terse. I should have been glad. There will come the day when there is no one left who cares whether you come home or not. Then you are truly alone.
