whoa, dude.

the scene: kira, the protagonist, in her trusty car, alethea, drives home from work. she is in the castro. she is attempting to cross market st, which has 4 lanes of traffic at that point.

the action: the time to take advantage of the green light for crossing market is almost gone. the cars ahead of kira are sitting in the middle of market st like assholes. the light is so almost-yellow that it's barely even green anymore.

enter the antagonist...kira chooses to wait out the light, so as not to be stuck on market, with drivers honking at her. she is a prudent, careful driver. suddenly, behind her, she hears a horn honking. not just a little beep-beep! but a HOOOOOOONK! HOOOOOOOOOONK! followed by "COME ON WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU STUPID FUCKING BITCH DRIVE!!!!!!!!!" 

a quick glance in her rearview mirror reveals the following: muscular gay man. face purple with rage (and meth?) mohawk. silver mirrored aviators. a puffy camo vest with a furry collar/hood. him screaming to the tendons in his neck stand out, and spittle flecks the windshield.

'whoa, dude. what the fuck?' she thinks to herself in confusion. some pedestrians who are crossing the street in front of kira (because the light is red now) look at the insane person with fear, look at kira, and share a rueful shrug.

the incredible meth fag hulk switches his car into reverse and reverses, at 50 mph, down the hill, to the end of the block, where he reverses into the intersection and turns around to take the next street over. 

kira is startled and bemused. she is chuckling to herself, and still shaking her head ruefully when she hears the sound of a speeding car coming from her left. sure enough, it is the meth hulk. he speeds past her, on market st, with one hand on the horn and one arm extended to display a very insistent middle finger to kira as he speeds past. 


um...what? whoa, ragey-ragerton. whoa there.

now we see why there are so many ads in the bus shelters in the castro about meth use. because people like that guy are being super-heroes of insane rage all over the place.
