You thank the attendant with a wide smile and then decide to follow her advice, her wine is perfect for an outing with Max in a near park, you feel that this is your big chance to explain to him your feelings once and for all.
You exit from the bathroom with a bounce in your step, but the moment is ruined when you search for the familiar face of your friend and notice that he isn’t waiting outside the building.
“Well, maybe he needed to use the toilets, too…” You sit on a nearby bench and to pass the time browse a nearby magazine.
After ten minutes of waiting you start to worry and ask a teenager that just left the building “Have you seen a boy in the bathroom, short brown hair with a blue shirt in there? His name is Max and i am a bit worried”
“No, I’m sorry, I was the only man in the bathroom miss, are you sure your friend is in the building?”
“Thanks, maybe he left when I didn’t noticed” You bid him farewell as you search some clues for the position of Max, asking attendant and employee alike about him.
Every one of them never saw anything, after the fifth query you called his name out loud in the hope that he didn’t wander far from you, he should know better than to leave her behind!
The moment Max will show up again he will be in big trouble alright!
You don’t notice a beautiful businesswoman dragging a young sandy colored donkey by a rope tied around his neck toward a back alley as the jackass tries to resist and pull back, the woman who gifted you the wine reach the animal and then strip him of the tatters of a ruined blue shirt with professional grace, then proceed to compliment the woman for the breed and physique of the animal.
The donkey is braying desperately to catch your attention with an expression of terror on his muzzle, his pleading eyes never leave you as you call for your friend Max until he is dragged in the dark alley, destined to a life in a dusty corral.
