rick evans was an ordinary person.
he had a good, not great, personality.
when he caught sight of his old enemy, tolliver quigg, crossing the street on the corner of 4th and main, it brought back painful memories.
in a movie or a book, rick would have murdered or otherwise avenged himself against tolliver years years ago.
but nothing is like it is in the movies.
so rick shrugged it off, and kept on walking down the street to his destination, the 3rd street deli.
where he bought a ham and cheese sandwich and a classic coke.
he asked for extra mustard on the sandwich.
he took a seat on a stool beside the window and began eating the sandwich and watching the world go by.
he did not see any more old enemies, on that particular afternoon.
he considered what he would watch on tv when he got home that night.
take it easy, rick, everything will be all right.
until it is not - but nothing lasts forever.
