Late Night Writers & Readers Forum Last night "Questions&quo..

Last night my friend and I went to dunkin donuts, it was about 2 in the morning, and raining. I had smoked a cig with my friend something I don't often do, and as my body was not use to it I got a weird high I guess. I couldn't move and I felt really sick, so as I looked outside the window this couple caught my attention, they were digging in all the garbage cans, grabbing bottles and cans, and anything I guess they could get money for. All I wanted to do then was get out of the car and ask them to tell me their story, just a strange urge grabbed at me to ask them all sorts of questions. Yet I just stayed in the car, kinda bummed out at the fact that I wasn't brave enough to actually go up to them. There are so many occassions someone or a group have caught my eye and interested me and all i want is to know their story.....usually it happens when I'm out at night.
     In dunkin donuts there was a man sitting doing paper work, and crossword puzzles, and i knew that his car outside had the license plate that said "AWARENES".....why?

So have any of you had something like this happen to you? Do you make up stories of the people you see instead of ask, or are you brave enough to ask?

I get that also. Intense curiosity. I generally approach the people and say something, but I approach as if I've known them all my life. It's actually amazing the amount of people who are willing to open up and converse when I strike up a chat. I guess we underestimate how many people out there are actually quite receptive to genuine human contact and connections.
