A Long Day

With the help of a GPS we navigated to a rehab center to visit a friend whose leg had been amputated.

On the way home we stopped to see a friend who underwent an emergency appendectomy the previous night.

When I passed people on the street I wondered about their stories.

At the restaurant I wondered about the waiter, the people sitting at the bar watching a preseason football game, the people crowded into booths.

Each story has tentacles.
