three strangers

The big red doors pushed in off their hinges. So somebody, not the wind, scrape marks in the red paint. Probably a car so the person driving, driving off. Or people, do people drive a car or a person? The question is accidentally or on purpose. D said there is a possibility it was accidental.

He wasn't strange enough for me to sit in the back given that he would often drive G and they liked each other so I sat in the front. He told me what I already knew about G but he would have known things about G that I would not have known - knowing someone as an accumulative process of seeing them and hearing them. So I saw him sideways and quickly here and there and I heard the sound of his voice and I heard the use of his voice and I heard and saw his position. His position was not simply next to me at the steering wheel, there was more to it.

D told me he was a bit of a character. It was all about when he was ready to so something, ready to do it now, and he was very careful. Impatient enough for it to seem like he would not do the thing, but careful enough that he would see it through. I saw and I heard two things about him and after he fixed the doors and I was holding the doors on the phone D told me two things about him that are sort of the opposite but they are not two sets of opposite things they are four things you can see and you can hear he has.
