Sunday Driver
It was a Sunday and the air conditioner
decided to stop working in my
1999 Aurora
I had been traveling from small town
to small town along
highway 13
convinced I would know exactly where
I was going once I got there
the price of gasoline was much cheaper
today but I already had a full tank
there was a rattle coming from the trunk
and I kept thinking I should stop to find out why
the cubs/cards game was mostly
static on the am radio
and I had no idea who was losing
there was a sign on mile marker 66
warning against picking up hitchhikers
and it was then I realized
I would soon find purpose to my day
june two thousand fifteen

Very cool story, or beginning of one 🙂
certainly a new beginning – thank you
hmmm leaving us wanting 😉
Maybe this one needs a sequel! Thanks for your comment.
I enjoyed this and wonder what happened in the end, John. 🙂
Thank-you, Lauren…this one is certainly very open-ended.
YES — Sequel please… Love your fun, snappy, enticing writing snippets!!!
Thank you so much, Shauna.
The rattle in the trunk makes me think dark thoughts
Yes, they can be quite disturbing.
