Makeup and Bus Stops: A Microfiction.
The Bus Left Me Stood At The Bus Stop.
The bus was due at 9:30 in the morning, and I had ten minutes before I had to leave. I used those ten minutes to perfect my dress and makeup before heading out the door to meet my hot date.
I was excited.
This was the first hot date I had in many years. I arrived at the bus stop and was on time. I saw the bus coming and waved my hand for it to stop.
To my horror, the driver drove straight passed me.
I was past being annoyed.
How do I explain this to my hot date?

"Know what your bitchy neighbor said, Joan?" Joan turned away from the stove. "No, Alexa. You mean Missy Hernandez?" "Who else!" Alexa said, displaying Missy's picture. "You know more than anyone the truth never catches up to the lies. She's told a doozy about you this time."

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.

Are we supposed to answer?? I hailed an Uber. When he arrived, there was a stuffed elephant in the back seat. It was only mildly strange. Maybe a kid left it. Then my drive introduced me to Peg. "Pardon me?" I'm already annoyed. I JUST want to get to my hot date. "Peg." He said again. "Sorry no, I'm Carol." Now my driver was impatient. "Carol, this is Peg!" I'm looking for an escape, because clearly this uber was cuckoo. "Peg, the elephant." Oooohhh... he must just be a dad and trying to make jokes. I relax a little. "Oh yes.. um... okay, hi, Peg the elephant." ......
Why is this going to haunt me from now on? I like what you've done here. And I want to know if that 'hot date' can be saved...
