Politically Correct

It was funny.
Damn it.
Wasn’t as if he had meant any harm.
It was a joke.
 It hadn’t been for the current political climate, no one would have thought anything of it.
Still makes him laugh.
Even as he does the drive of shame home, it’s still funny.
“You never hear anyone say Fuck the fire department!”
Maybe it's because the song “Fuck The Police” is from his era.
His wife is going to have a fit.
Had been “Kicking the bo-bo” with his work friends, same harmless shenanigans as always.
Ran across the meme and shared it with his work bestie.
Fuck.
Didn’t see the client standing there.
The job is going to stop unemployment insurance. 
He’s seen it happen before, Just didn’t think it would happen to him.
His wife is going to kill him.
Park’s in his driveway.

  1. Good story. Evoked both sympathy and annoyance at the character which makes the story more complex than it first seems. 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤✌

  2. This is a nice read. It displays very well the emotions of the main character, and makes one think about the consequences of niceties when they are in their extreme, in this case, sensitivity. This is needed. Nice one, really nice.

Abduction

It's hot in here.  Stifling. Suffocating. Dark.  Almost hope they come beat me again, just so that I can get out of the trunk.  They do....
