"LEAVE NOW." - note left on the back of a certain person's car.
You know how when you were a kid your parents told you never talk to strangers? Well, that's a lot harder to do when you wake up in your own house and - wow! there are strangers sitting at the kitchen table.
Strangers can sometimes turn out to be cool people once you get to know them. But usually they aren't. Often times they turn out to be gun-wielding maniacs with a crack habit. Other times they are murdering, ex-con greyhound passengers who just won't leave you along. But yes, there is the slight chance that strangers could be "friends you haven't met." But usually not.
Usually they are people who show up unexpectedly, don't talk to anyone, make a mess of your living room in the middle of the night, pop pills like they're going out of style, and drink all your Malibu.
Remember that show from the 80's called "Perfect Strangers" ? The perfect stranger is one who stays as far away from you as humanly fucking possible.
