The Lost Pages

Bright Sunday Morning

It was a bright Sunday morning and I got up late as usual at eleven. I saw that Spiderman was sitting in the hall watching college football. I guessed he must have got bored alone at his place as his roommates - Dexter and Nancy Drew were out on a vacation. After the usual morning coffee and dry talk he mentioned he had run out of web and wanted to go to Walmart to get some. I offered to accompany him as I didn't have much to do anyway. We had to borrow Batman's car as mine had a flat tire. We drove over to Anderson Walmart and I started to browse through the hardware section where I noticed He-man. He was getting his sword serviced as it accumulated some rust on it. After the usual greetings, he told me that Battle Cat was at the salon getting his whiskers done. He also invited me to the football game the coming weekend. He had got 2 free tickets from the Simpsons as Bart and his sister had a sudden change of plans. I was at Walmart for almost an hour by then and i didn't have time to say a hello to Battle Cat. So me and Spiderman drove back home. On the way, I noticed Mask being caught by a cop for speeding. Sigh, its the third time this month. One more time, and he would have his license revoked again. After the mandatory ablutions, I decided to go to college to check my mail and to work on my assignment due next week. It was then that I realised that Hulk had borrowed my book and hasn't returned it yet. Tried calling him but it kept landing in his voice mail. Damn! It was lunch time and I went to Burger King to grab a quick bite. Superman was working the counter that day. The dude was trying to make a few bucks over weekends lately. I knew he was saving up for his girl. It was her birthday next month and their relation was turning out to be a bumpy ride lately. He wanted to get things back in order with her. After lunch, I tried slogging but ended up sleeping in the library for an hour. Woke up with regret and made an immediate resolution to start sleeping early from that day. Started walking back home and met Neo half way through at downtown. We had a couple of beers at Bad Apple and I had to listen to him as he kepy rattling about how much he missed Trinity. It was more than three months since they had broken up and he still hadn't gotten over her.He shouldn't have proposed to her so soon in the first place. Anyways, we were done after an hour or so and he gave me a ride till my home. Captain Planet and Supandi had already reached home by then. It was Suppandi's cooking turn that day and he had already started making pasta and salaami by then. Dinner was ready in an hour and I had a hearty meal. I crashed soon after that and slept like I would never wake up.
