The End of My Jacket

Today, after successfully implemented a code snippet which can logically draw out colored path using .NET component designer, I put on my jacket, plug my Sony MDR-EX815SL headphone to my ears, which is connected to my Creative ZEN Vision:M and left work to catch my bus.

The weather was warm and the sky was gorgeous as I walk down the street. I took off my jacket and hang it on top of my shoulder bag. As I stopped at the end of the cross walk, I saw my bus 17 which was about to turn and stop at a bus station about a block ahead of me. I walked pass the cross walk and tried to fix my headphone position in my ear, I heard some car honked at me, or possibly at another person. I looked back but didn't notice anything, so I continued walk across the street.

As I about to reach to the bus station, where bus 17 waiting for me, I noticed something was wrong... WHERE IS MY JACKET ... I bet it fell off, should I miss my bus and get my jacket? Of course I would! I quickly walk back to the cross walk and realized my jacket is on the road.

I was anxious getting back my jacket, but the street cars were fast and it was a red light for the pedestrian. My heart was beating fast as I watch 1, 2, 3 ... 6 cars drive either over or on my jacket. Then I saw this red car, Zoom... my jacket is no longer on the road...

I yelled..."Oh.. my jacket..." While the other pedestrians watching my hopeless face. The car dragged my jacket away under its body and stopped 2 blocks away at a red light. What should I do? Chase for it. A man suggested me to stop the red car 2 blocks away. Feeling stupid of chasing for the jacket since I figured that I probably wouldn't able to make it, I resigned and said "it's ok, not necessary"...

As I walked to another bus station for bus 9 (since I missed the 17), I felt a bit regret why I didn't chase for it. Lucky, I didn't have any thing in the jacket pocket.

I kept telling myself that it is only a jacket, I should feel say about "non-living" things. I shall have no feeling to "non-living" in this materialized society. Under the influence of sad feel for my jacket as I imaging how the car trorture it apart, and my logical sense of forgetting about this event, the memory of how much I like to wear that jacket kept resonating in my mind.

... must refund my headphone...
