Stumped (page four)

Adam hobbled into a cab. It was raining, as it often does in Vancouver, and his mangled wet body was no more wanted in that cab than that of a stray dog. There happened to be a public bus much closer to the hospital and much cheaper than taking a cab, however when the bus driver waited two full minutes for Adam to get cash from an ATM, he sped away cursing Adam's name for having gone over the allotted 90 seconds the driver gave him to go inside and come back. The drizzle coming from the sky was actually quite pleasant to Adam. He saw it as an agreement he and the sky had with the earth-something they had in common. Had a storm emptied golf ball size hail upon him, he might have seen it as a smiting of the miserable, but in this case, he felt like wrapping his arm around the pathetic clouds and saying, "Yeah I know buddy. I understand."
The cabby stopped quite short of the wedding the driver refusing, "No, No. I can not go in there. You must walk from here." To Adam's surprise this had nothing to do with his awful appearance, awful smell, or awful attitude. The cabby stopped simply because this was the richest and most highly secure, gated neighborhood in all of Vancouver. Many Canadian and American stars were living here. Adam looked into the hills with homes spread apart as if to say, 'I spent my whole life clawing my way up these hills, now you leave me alone, or I'm calling the cops.' Once Adam had scaled an eight foot rock wall, the homes had done just that. There were security cameras and automatic alarm systems that went off the second his scabby knees made it to the other side. After his chin had scraped against the wall and his toe nails had pulled about half way off from misjudging the distance to the ground, he made it over only to discover a screaming young female in a pool. If she would stop screaming for just 5 seconds he could explain what he was doing in her back yard. This would truly mean fortune had finally decided to give Adam a break. If she were over 18 years of age, then fortune would truly have felt sorry for all it had done to Adam in the past and had asked for his forgiveness with a kind and voluptuous gift.
