'Sam'

After taking the train to Copley Square in downtown Boston with a friend, I walked around for a bit, people scouting, when I walked past a cookie-stand. There, I bought the largest chocolate-chip cookie I have ever seen in my life - it was as big as my friggin head! After I ate it, I decided to go back and buy another three - and then go search for homeless people to give them to.

I first found a sad looking fellow who was lying, passed out, on the ground, and I somehow managed to shove the enormous cookie under his arm without waking him up. Unfortunately I never got to see his face when he woke up to half a pound of homebaked goodness, but I can image it must have been quite the sight.

I then noticed two guys sitting at the side of a big building, talking, and walked over to the guy who seemed to need the cookie the most - and handed it to him. He looked at me for a second in disbelief, then thanked me - and after a couple of jealous looks from his friend, I handed over my last cookie.

Sam, as the first guy's name was, turned out to be an old photographer. We ended up having a long talk about the pros and cons about film, while his friend ran off to munch on his cookie - and take a much needed piss.
