The Mysterious Ticket



I found a book at the library (imagine that?!) today which I'm pretty excited to read.

As I was flipping through the pages, a bus ticket fell out.

It was dated We.Ja.23 11:12 P -1-

The ticket marked page 13 of the book. I'm sitting here at 11.42pm of May 24th wondering who this person is. Male/female? Age? Ethnicity? Place of residence? What's her/ his story?

Considering that it is a one zone ticket, we know that the person probably lives in Burnaby. It is not a concession ticket so this person is an adult.

Wednesday, January 23 is of 2008. This ticket has either been in there for awhile or it belonged to somebody who recently fished it out of a pocket from last year. This seems more plausible.

Why did said person stop reading at page 13? Perhaps the marker was intended for the quote on that page which reads - "Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want."
