Going For a Ride

The other day I was headed southbound on the 15, tra-la-laing to myself (as in singing and in no way related to this) when in my rearview mirror I noticed a man riding a motorcycle. The fact that he was riding a motorcycle was nothing of interest but the fact that he was riding a motorcycle wearing a marigold silk shirt, brown plaid shorts and no shoes caught me as peculiar. Now that I'm thinking about it, he may not have been wearing a helmet, but perhaps he was as it's law in CA. Well, back to his clothes and lack of footwear, I couldn't help but think "Hmm, maybe there's a reason he's dressed that way. Oooo! Maybe there's some crazy story à la The Hangover!?" I considered waving him down off the freeway and shaking it out of him, but I had an engagement to get to. Instead I came up with a story for him. So here for your entertainment I've posted the abridged version of Will's Weekend.
There was no doubt about it. Will was fully engrossed in a zombie state induced by excessive overtime at 'We Suck the Life out of You' mortgage company. In a plea for him to rejoin the living by his friend Marcus, Will departed to San Diego for a nice weekend getaway. At first the pair were enjoying the many choice establishments America's finest city had to offer, including the women. But like any story, when things are going so right, something has to go so wrong.
Her name was Talulah. You'd think a name like that would be warning enough, but apparently these 'in the moment' men weren't thinking far enough ahead. The trio met at the Del Mar Racetrack. She bumped into Will in that "Oh I'm so sensual and you want me" way people do in really bad movies. He smiled but for the last time this weekend. From there seriously crazy stuff happened involving stealing cars, loosing clothes, being drugged, memory loss, witty dialogue, some kind of sex because that has to be in there somewhere even if it's off screen, and life changes (hey I said this was the abridged version).
Shoeless on a motorcycle, Will headed southbound on the 15 towards the airport, towards his way back to his simple life. His frantic mind paused momentarily as he noticed a cute girl driving alongside him, looking at him quizzically. He grinned and rolled on.
The End!
