He’s A Maniac

It was a still and grey afternoon. Perfect weather mood for a Saturday matinee. We left the theatre jacked to put our moves into place. That’s what Flashdance does to you. It started to sleet as we crossed the parking lot of Fairview Mall.

A man was approaching us in a trench coat. We noticed him but didn’t “see” him as we tried to croon the lyrics to Gloria. He trotted by our diagonal, halted, opened himself up and exposed his hairy bits. A flasher. Perhaps he saw the movie too and came out with a different kind of feeling.
