There was this time when I really needed to use the restroom. I just stood up and left the bus I was on, with my brother struggling to keep up with my impulsive antics. I find the closest establishment, which is a bar that I still don't know the name of, and rush to the back to use the restroom. I come back and my brother is sitting down in a chair. I sat down with him, me facing the wall and him facing the bar. I look down to my right and right around face level was this dog. Chillin. Standing on all 4's. That was so funny to me because I couldn't understand why the owners were there with their dog and how the dog didn't sit down in any way a dog can. Tongue out standing in a bar. I'd go back if I could find it again. Hoping to see that dog again but I think a drink will be sufficient in keeping this memory alive.
I really want to end a story or screenplay with a scene of a cashier asking the main character, or even just a liked character from a story, if they had a coupon to use. This person would then say something like, "No, I don't have one today", as if this lack of a coupon for only 25% off one item was so important to the overall story or it called back to a time when they did have a coupon and used it but this was when they were actually very ill. Them coming unprepared, or just wanting to start over and relive days when they didn't have a stack of coupons at home, was a sign that they wanted to get out of the funk they were in. And when they complete their purchase of no more than $30 usd and the cashier hands them their receipt with a new coupon, they take both pieces of paper to only then throw them both away while walking out or giving them to the next person they see walking in. Just the coupon not their receipt since that's kinda useless. Unless that receipt had their number on it. Then that would lead to something else and now the story has become random again. Again? Again.
