This completely slipped my mind until earlier this evening. About a week ago I was sitting in my car at the gas station as I filled up. While I was refueling I noticed something peculiar out of the corner of my eye.

A man in a dark red pick-up truck was parked a couple pumps over from me. He had opened up the hood of his car and was browsing around like he was looking for a leak or something of the sort. Just then, his face became startled. He stuck his hand into some nook of his engine and pulled something out, a bag of sorts; I couldn’t make out any details. He looked around suspiciously for a minute. I momentarily glanced down at my steering wheel for I realized that I was obviously staring. Inconspicuously, he quickly made his way over to a garbage can to dispose of the bag.

Oh how I wanted to go over to that garbage can and rummage through it to discover what he was had thrown away, but alas, it was rush hour and the gas station was noticeably crowded. The gas pump clicked signifying that I was full.

What the hell could it have been? And why the hell was it under his hood in the first place?
