I was lining up in a Hawaiian restaurant named “Bai Hinas” and I spent most of my time looking at the menu. I still didn’t know what I wanted to get when I got to the front of the line. Not wanting to hold up the line any longer, I quickly chose the chicken leg rice with teriyaki sauce. I had spent so much of my attention thinking about what to order that I forgot to say that I wanted it for takeout until it was already being served on a plate. Not wanting to make a big deal out of it, I decided to sit down and dine in instead.

I was living with my brother and my parents were staying in another house not far from us. It was night time and my dad was stopping by on his way home. He handed me a tupperware box of fried rice with pork floss. I thanked him and headed back into the house. When I got in the door I was so tired that I collapsed onto the sofa. As I was laying on my belly, I glanced at some of the spines of the books on the counter. One of them was called “The Tengu Word Book”.

I was listening to a conversation about one of my friends who was paying back anyone who subscribed to her stream.
