The Failed Meeting 10OCT2007

Dan stood there looking at his watch, 3:30. He had been waiting for Sophia close to thirty minutes now and he was beginning to think he was simply the victim of a cruel joke. It wouldn't be the first time. After convincing himself it was and it had been too good to be true he picked up his bag and headed down the hallway. Halfway down, he saw Angela coming from the opposite direction towards him. He thought nothing of this until she stepped right in front of him. Dan looked at her "What's up?" he said. Not missing a beat, Angela responded "Sophia said that she's sorry she wasn't here and wants to talk to you tomorrow." and before Dan could even think of a response, Angela continued down the hall. Dan's mood lifted, and he was glad it wasn't just a joke. He arrived the next day only to find that, not only had Sophia decided not to meet him but also there was no word from Angela. "Figures" Dan thought "guess that's just how things go." Then Dan checked his watch again, picked up his bag, and proceeded to walk down the hallway. The world and time becoming nothing but a blur.
