Goodbye Manc
2100, GMT +0 1st december, Nottingham. Steamboat with ah keen and hary, among others. Jokes too vulgar for publication made. Lots of talk about mushrooms.

0100, 2nd December, Manchester, packing at the royal

0115, yvinne calls and says bye bye.

0200, the royal, Jaycen wants last dota game. Temptation knocks, but my resilient discipline resists. rawr.

0330, the royal, lose to cm at pro evo soccer. Twice.

0500, the royal, beat cm at NBA 2k8, once.

0530, the royal, last minute packing. Cab arriving in 30 mins. Stuff still in dryer. Typical, typical. Frantic folding commences.

0557, the royal, ray mumbles goodbye. Shout goodbye at lena. Grunt heard in response. Image of my dad flashes through my mind.

0600, random taxi cab, cm emotional. Wj numb. Spitting rain completes Korean drama-like farewell.

0615, random taxi cab, talk about travelling to random taxi man. I have no idea what he’s saying half the time, though I know he’s speaking English. Surrealistic feeling dominates as I watch the dark mancunian scenery, lit by Christmas lights. The silence envelopes me. Like a big black... something... eating me.

0630, Manchester airport, terminal 1. no flight listed on the tv screen. Dontpanicdontpanicdontpanicdontpanic.

0645, Manchester airport, terminal 2, flight found. Breathes again.

0800, Manchester airport, food2go café, discovers Manchester tarts. On my last day. How ironic.

0900, LX0391, somewhere over paris. Feels the need to curse, smoke, and hate life.

1045, Zurich airport. By far the nicest airport I’ve ever been in. Just aesthetically pleasing. Straight simple lines, lots of glass, wide open spaces. Beautiful simplicity. These swiss people.

1300, LX 0014, somewhere over the atlantic. Gets irritated at big german man constantly elbowing me.

1600, GMT -5, JFK airport, new york. Snow covers most of manhattan. The big black something shows it's head again. I'm scared.
