CHAPTER THREE: TELL ME YOUR STORY
SUBMISSION 08
About 8 years ago, when I was 22. I was head over heels in love (I now use that
term loosely) with this guy. I would do anything for him, which included picking
him up from anywhere around the city, at any time. One time he called me to
pick him up downtown Toronto. Being my silly self, I did, even though I was
useless at driving down there.
I got him from God knows where he was. I made a right hand turn on to a
“street”. At least I thought I was on the road . It turned out the I was driving on
the street car tracks (which were raised from the road in this section). Scared
out of my mind as drunk pedestrians are yelling at me that I’m driving on the
tracks and the wrong direction too, I hopped my car off of the curb ( I don’t even
know how high up it was) to hear this loud crunch sound. My heart was racing, I
didn’t know if I broke anything on my car. I don’t believe I did.
To this day, everytime I drive downtown this story comes to my head and makes
me think, man I’m an idiot. The things you do for love
