Trash Day

Date: 3/1/2019

It is Saturday afternoon and it’s a nice day out. A Mexican guy is on my college campus rolling two trash cans to the street. The scene switches to me at my parents’ house on trash day. My parents aren’t there. Instead I think it’s an older guy and his younger wife. I take one of the trash cans to the neighbors’ driveway. Later I hear a neighbor talking about how he hates the idea of heaven in his religion (he called that heaven something specific but I don’t remember what he said). I reply in agreement using swear words to sound tough.
