Touched By Zeus

Normal day. Nothing special. Sunglasses on. Music blaring into my ears. Playlist: Workout Mix. All my favorites are on there. Rocking out.

Minding my own business. I see a group of people coming forward, odd since most classes haven't let out yet, I check my phone. Nope, not late, skip song and go back to walking.

I see two men that have separated from the others. They are sharing a laugh. Both have dark hair, are around my height, and are bulky in a "fit" (athletic) way.

As I walk by the one on the left looks me in the face. A surge of electricity courses through my veins and I can feel it making my toes tingle. I am stunned. Not really sure what is happening. We pass each other. I wait a few seconds and turn my head to try and catch a glimpse of him one more time.

When I do, he turns back and looks at me. Freaked out I turn back and proceed to walk quickly away. As I do so, I wonder to myself, did I just have a spontaneous "o"? And dear lord I need a cigarette.

After hastily making my way to a designated smoking area for a much needed inhalation of cancerous materials, I can't stop shaking.

My body is very jittery. And my mind is still trying to encapsulate--what just happened? I try to put it into words. But, it's not working.

As best as it can be described I was touched by Zeus, the God of the lighting...

Even now, years later, I cannot forget his face or that feeling. He shall live in my mind and my heart as the "Muse".
