It had been an exceptionally long day. The summer heat was close to unbearable. It was my third day in a row that I had risen at 4:15 A.M. to travel to the city by ferry. I was on my way home and missed the ferry by a few minutes. I decided to have some dinner as the wait would be two hours for the next boat.
It was a long walk to the closest restaurant and I hoped the food would give me the energy for the walk back to my car. I stopped at a little fish 'n chips place. It was packed with only one table
