The Scene: a local community center with a suspended, indoor track. On one side is a large room, and lots of little tow-headed boys in white are hopping around, preparing for their Tae Kwan Do class. My friend and I are doing an afternoon power walk.
She: You know, I should take a self-defense class...
rhythmic sound of our feet in step on the track, sound of our breathing...
I: Yes, I've thought about that, too. Why would you be interested?
She: Oh, you know, to protect myself. Why haven't you ever taken a class?
walk, walk, walk, walk...
I: Good question. I think it's because I've never found a class called Self-Defense Against Your Own Internal Demons.
laugh, laugh, laugh, walk, walk, walk, walk...sound fades...
