News from the Front.

So does everyone know about Central street? I deliver mail there and its well....GHETTO!! A friend and I decided that Central is it's own little world. the Republic Of Central. or R.O.C. Well today I was delivering to a cigarette store in the R.O.C. (technically it's ROC adjacent) when i walked in there was a woman laying in the middle of the floor. She was either A) napping B) dead C) planning some kind of lawsuit (which I'm sure would be settled for a few cartons of cancer sticks) whatever the case, there were people in there conducting business as usual. A man stepped over her and asked for a pack of Marlboros. Reds. I of course.........stepped over her as well and delivered the mail. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor woman on the floor.....

As I drove away I heard sirens in the air. Was it for her, or just another run of the mill domestic violence case? One never knows. Thats the way it be in the R.O.C.
