"Okay...ugh let's recap a bit shall we?" said an old aged man. He came up and sat next to me by the river bed with a smiling face as if he was ready to listen to all my worldly problems. Taking another look at him I noticed he was dressed like a homeless person as if he had seen and been through everything that life could've thrown at him.
"Who are you?" I asked with a confused face.
"Doesn't really matter but you can call me God, "why" you might ask, well because I know everything there is to know about you." he answered with a grin.
And just like that I went back to moping and ignored the old geezer.
"By any chance, could you go bother someone else? I'm not in the mood to be around people." I responded with a depressed look.
"Ohhh come on boy since when have you ever been in the mood to be around people, ever since you were born in October 6, 1997 I knew you'd grow up to be special."
I turned in shock to see him smiling at me, I pointed at him and replied "You can't fool me gramps, mostly everyone who's seen my face knows all about my personal life. There ain't nothing you can say about me that most of this city knows."
The geezer turned to me and laughed "HAHAHA, you're too smart for me. I'm guessing we don't get any better with age." as he laid down and started watching the sky.
As he laid down I looked forward with a smirk on my face.
"So who really are you geezer?" I asked.
"Think of me as a friend. Just looking out for another friend." he replied.
Looking at him I replied, "I find that hard to believe. What kind of friend walks up to a random stranger and tells him that he is god out of nowhere!?"
Still laying down he replied, "Calm down will you? It's not like you know what a real friend is right?"
I immediately stopped my train of thought, turned to look at him with a shooked face, "Remember that saying you would always think of, "Trust is good, but not trusting is better" crap."
"I've never said that in my entire life!" I immediately replied.
"Of course you haven't, but you always thought about it. It's applied to you ever since your youth." he pointed at me.
"Who the hell are you and what do you want!?' I asked him directly to his face.
"I'm not god that's for sure. I already told you I'm just a friend looking out for another friend, no need to be alarmed." he said as he laid his arm back down.
With a surprised face still on me he said, "You've been coming to this river's end for the past 18 years I think it's about time we addressed the elephant in the room."
"The only elephant in the room is you. I've always been doing fine here, no one has ever noticed me coming to this spot for the past 18 years... until you!"
"How rude, I'm not that fat I'm on a diet I'll have you know." he replied while giggling.
"Well at least I found out the problem for one of your situations." he said.
"My situations?" I asked confusedly.
The old man slowly started getting back.
Looking at me directly in the face, "Now tell me. When was the last time you visited your family or hung out with "real" friends or to just to put in simple terms came here to this spot without having a resting bitch face?" he asked while looking directly in to my eyes.
Him looking at me I felt a cold feeling as if he wanted a direct answer with no bullshit. It's as if that mood of weirdness and humor that he was giving when he got here suddenly vanished.
I could feel my body slowly starting to shake so I swallowed my saliva and replied "That's none of your business old man."
We both looked at each other straight in the face, eye to eye for a few seconds.
*tsk* *tsk* "Just looking at you or being near you I can feel emptyness and loneliness." he said.
He got up and looked at me "I think that'll do for today. I managed to see how much of a stubborn goat you are, but for now it's getting later so go home and Rest."
Getting up I looked at the old geezer as he was walking away and thought to myself, "he knows too much I can't run into him anymore, he'll end up letting everyone else know where I go in my free time."
I started waking home with the hoodie covering my face and mumbled to myself, "Go home and rest huh? Crazy old bastard."
