I'm at a Starbucks/Borders. Just now, a guy started seizing at the magazine racks. He fell to the floor and started shuddering. Classic Tonic-clonic seizure. A guy came over and shoved a baseball cap into his mouth and looked around for help. People stared. A few folks came over, kneeled down, and started petting him.
....
The EMT crew came and stuck him on their stretcher. By this time he was fully conscious and was able to speak. I hope he likes talking, because he is going to have a lot of dumb questions to answer at the hospital.

After they left, I went over to see what magazine the seizure guy had been reading. It was a DC comic about the Green Lantern. The illustrations were dark and overtoned in sepia, a twisted 10 page story with a morbid theme. Ah shit. A bit of that guy's sputum had been sprayed on the cover. I tossed it in the trash.
