Intro - Journalist - Reflection

Him [I’m a Journalist]: You must be busy with everything going on around here lately, huh?

Me: Yeah, it’s crazy. This used to feel like such a safe place...not lately though.

Him: You’re doing your part on helping keep this place safe by making people aware of what’s happening.

Me: Thanks, I do what I can. People have a right to know what’s happening in their city, especially when there’s a serial killer on the loose.

Him: Right.

Me: What do you do?

Him: I’m a freelance writer. I write short stories. I also volunteer for the local council. Before that I did all sorts of miscellaneous writing. I wrote for textbook companies and a movie theater.

Me: Nice! Can I read some of your work sometime?

Him: Yeah, sure. Can I get your number?

Me: Yeah, let me write it down for you….I need to get going. It was nice chatting with you!

Him: Likewise. I hope to see you again soon.

 

Reflection

He’s an interesting guy. I like that he’s a writer. I wonder what kind of stories he writes about? I’ll have to ask him next time I see him. How long should I wait to reach out to him? I’m not good with these kind of things...

 

* Text from other guy*

James: “Hey!...Just checking in. How are you?”

V.O: Ugh this guy…

ME: “Hey! I’m good. How are you?”

V.O: This guy won’t take the hint.
