Popular, Fashionable Opinion

I turned the key down immediately after explaining my feels on homosexuality to the voice on the other end of my yuppie Bluetooth headset. It remained silent. Long enough for me to reiterate, "that's just my belief on the issue." The voice doesn't seem entirely excited with this revelation. I turn to see people adjusting chairs in my seat and the brown bag of food milling around my fingers. The voice mocks surprise, shocked would probably be a better word for the reaction; awkward, for the conversation. A naked tree refracting on my dashboard but still making noise through gaps in the car’s construction and I tell the voice that I need to head into Feast; that I have to go. It concedes, and avails itself a “goodbye”.
