HUMOR

I Was Rescued By a Man in a Satin Robe

It almost cost me a friend

“Shit! Shit! Shit!”

I slammed my foot on the brake.

Closing my eyes, I slowly inhaled and exhaled.

“You can do this. You can do this” I muttered to myself before opening my eyes.

You definitely can’t but let’s see what happens.

My left hand wiggled the gear stick and then pushed it back into reverse. I let my foot off the brake and slowly released the clutch before adding some revs.

My car revved loudly as it slid forward.

“No! Go back. Go back you stupid fuck!”

My foot crashed down onto the brake again. I stared at the red car parked in front of me. The front of my car was mere inches from its tail lights.

Fuck it. A nudge won’t hurt it.

Hearing the exchange of words again, I lifted my eyes to the men halfway up ladders twenty feet away, painting a house. They had been watching me for the last five minutes and not bothered to pretend otherwise.

Dickflaps.

I pulled the handbrake and picked up my Motorola flip phone.
