Minding My Business

Today was my first encounter with moral police, though I wasn’t his target—a teenage1 couple in the park2 was. As I entered, I noticed a young couple hugging, maybe even kissing, but I couldn’t see clearly as I was not paying much attention. Then I saw a man with a toddler approached them....
