A Cold Visitor



Michael walks down the street, cuffing his hands to light his camel, in the frigid winter air. “it’s fucking cold here Michael” says Jesse rubbing his hands together to make friction. Michael exhales the smoke in his long then looks at Jesse with sarcastic eyes. “ And Of course it was my idea to come to Durango In November?” Jesse stops to dig his ciggeretes out of his pocket, “ Mite as well be” jesse lights his ciggerte and exhales. “ I mean I wanted to stay home and sleep.” Michael turns around to face Jesse, they were standing outside of animas Trading Co. Now. “ No man you wanted to drive all the way up here just to come here and buy something completely useless as always.” Standing there they hear the wet sloshing sounds of melted snow as the smoked there ciggeretes.
Jesse is being himself as always nothing in the world could change that. His way of life is to not to many things seriously. As he told Michael Once “ Apathy man, Apathy just don’t care” This Is Jesse’s Philosaphy. Michael on the other hand, cares a liltle too much. He cares what everyone thinks of him, he would do anything any of his friends aks of him. Jesse’s advice hardly matters, Michael just nods to show he is listening .

Michael is the first one done with his ciggerete , and tosses it into the snow to put it out. Shortly after jesse’s tosses his which gets extinguished as soon as it hit’s the fresh layers of snow. The Snow has been falling all day, They don’t seem to notice though, “ You ready to go In man? Its cold out here.” Michael follows in to the store. The Animas Trading Co. Is a store as to which you would get your inscents or anything from the 70’s really. As soon as they enter the store they are instantly feel the warmth from the heater that’s blasting in the back, behind the stairs.

Jesse immediately goes for the Grateful Dead Items, he has been a Dead head since he was able to walk. He’s looking for a shirt he doesn’t already have. Michael just walks around looking at the arangements of sculptors, most are of Frogs and birds. As Usuall Michael doesn’t have any money to spend so he’s just window shopping as some would say it. Jesse calls from up the stairs, “ Dude you have to see this hat! It’s amazing” as Michael walks up the stairs to join Jesse, a cold shiver runs down his spine to the tip of his toes. He stops to look around and sees nothing. This process only takes a few seconds but it feels like life times to him. Jesse’s leaning over the railing. “ Man a turtle is faster then you, hurry up!” Michael gets to the top of the stairs and sees Jesse wearing a Hat from the loved Children Books of Dr Suess. Jesse mouth forms a tight smile as he says the famous quote from one of the Dr. Sueus Books. “ I do Not Like green eggs and Ham!” Michael erupts laughter that fills the store, the few people inside turn to look at him with dismay.

“what do you think?” Jesse asks trying to hold back all his laughter. Michael stops laughing all the sudden because the chill is back, going down his spine again, Michael looks at jesse seriously. “Hey man did you feel that?” jesse starts laughing now, “ Man Michael are you crazy? “ still laughing he says “ Either that or your on drugs, and if your on drugs you better be sharing them with me.” come on man Im serious” Jesse stops laughing, “ Alright man What did you feel cause I didn’t feel shit.” Michael turns around, “ I don’t know man it felt Like someone watching me” Jesse start to laugh again “ Man that because you used to steal, Paranoid Stoner reflexes.”
