A MAN OUT OF TIME

I was in the Korean supermarket buying some 5000 year old glacier water.

The man checking out in front of me was carrying a rawhide backpack on a frame of branches. He was all dressed in rough leather.

He was the very picture of an early American frontiersman.

I thought he might be a reenactor.

I went over to Hungerford Drive to wait for the bus, and he walked past at a fast pace in the direction of downtown Rockville.

I suddenly realized I was missing out on an opportunity.

But I couldn't catch up with him. Not with my bum leg.

So I thought I'd catch the bus and get ahead of him and find out who was what.

But the bus was late, and I never saw him again.

Was he the real thing?

Am I ?

PS. You could be a celebrity, like one of our authors. But, of radio paparazzi and other trolls, wishing to remain anonymous on these pages where you can just be creative.

Interesting! At least your sighting gave you something to ponder and speculate about.
