I had not made contact with op centre because I wanted to clean up the mess I had made. Otherwise I would find myself in Saudi Arabia for my next posting.

I was moving very fast as I blitzed the main street of Nati, with Moby cranking on the stereo system. However the Audi was well within its limits.

I was so focused on making ground on Alex that I didn’t see the hippy on the road.

I slammed on the breaks and the Audi went into a spin. All I saw was a pony tail and a tie dye vest…then…what the…..I thought I was dreaming as he calmly turned to face the Audi, now spinning violently out of control towards him, smiled, and like a scene from ‘The Matrix’, he leaped clear over it, a good 2 metres into the air. The car came to rest in the car park across the road from the general store. The zen master hippy ambled over and gestured for me to open the window.

It was Chris Peisker. I had met him last summer at Araps while I was working on the moves of ‘headless’ late in the day. He had danced across the traverse like it wasn’t there. “Hey man” He could see that I was worked up about something.

He smiled. “Let’s go across the road and have a milkshake”. In the background I could see the shitbox Kingswood pulling up outside the milkshake shop.

f--- it.
