Stalking

I have an assignment for writers craft; to eavesdrop on a conversation and write a three page dialogue. So I set out on a quest…and yea…no.
1. I thought Tim Hortons would be prime location: dead beats, constant banter, lots of people…nope. Not a soul. Everyone just takes the drive-through these days. Its even worse than  I thought….
2. I tried McDonalds. At 8:30, it’s deserted. And they have booths. Booths are bad.
3. Starbucks. Overflowing. I couldn’t find a seat for the life of me. So I stood beside a bookcase (it’s the Starbucks in Chapters) and started writing this brilliant convo until the group started giving me leud looks.
4. Back to Tim Hortons. I got a page of some pre-teen banter. It was hilarious actually; two of them were in a heated discussion about the Time Travelers wife while girl #3 sat on her hunches and cried and girl #4 patted her back.

Extremely unproductive. Goodnight.
