Picture Prompt-28

I don’t know what to do now. I am sitting here like a fool. I took hours getting prepared. Hair done, nails done, makeup applied by a professional, all that money down the drain. For what? To be sitting here in this place, alone? Abandoned like an old pair of shoes? Why I answered that text I’ll never know. He seemed reasonable. Jane knew him to be a good guy. What was she thinking, recommending him to me?

And here I am, angry at both of them, sitting by the side of the road, waiting for my brother. My brother is always reliable, but what will he think of me, here in this place? Dressed up, and sitting in the bushes! I know he’ll be upset. I’m just glad I had my phone to call him. He’ll come, give me the usual lecture, and take me home safely. I can count on it.

Unlike the creep who left me here. Of course it was my decision to get out of the car. I’m just glad he let me out. He could have forced me to stay with him…..I can’t think of it, what could have happened. Jane must not really know him, otherwise how could she have set me up? Or maybe she did set me up, on purpose. You never know who is a true friend these days. He was an obnoxious, self centered, octopus. Rude, and overbearing, and dangerous. So angered by my refusal of his advances, he let me out. I guess I should consider myself lucky to be sitting here after all.

There’s my brother coming, finally. I can’t wait to get home.

  2. I knew it was fiction. I was sucked into the story so many times and made comments asking them if they were okay. Then they said – fiction.
    Good writer!! Make people believe that it was true enough to be concern. Good job!!

    6. -39 tonight with windchill. Plus snow has made it difficult. They even have the air force base and air guard base guys out to clear snow. I’m happy to be home. Too cold for kids to enjoy being in snow.😥

    15. I suppose he was like Trump a bit, but I don’t know Trump that well. But From what I remember he only ever had a bad attitude when it came to giving away his money not life in general.

    27. Follow the instructions on the WordPress site, they are easy to follow and written in such terms that even my mother can follow them. If you start out thinking negative you wont ever get it.

    29. You’d get along great, you could both talk about how following directions is too difficult even when they are spelled out.

      It sounds sexist but if old ladies thought of instructions for computer related stuff the same way they thought of recipes they’d never have an issue with computers.

      Computer Support would be so much easier if people got it out of their had that they were going to make something blow up and just tired it for themselves.

    30. Hold on, I used to have a big old computer, stacks, printer, scanner, red drive, etc. I changed the drive on it, etc, did repairs, etc. the thing I hated was all the wires to plug in and find a plug in for

    53. If I have trouble sleeping I put headphones in and just listen to music. Sometimes it gives me a broken sleep but it’s better than no sleep and headphones drown out so much outside noise.

    64. Yeah we get told figures like that for things. Can’t help but think the main reason for such high costs is directly related to specialist people thinking they are worth more than they really are.

    66. Of course but the thing that annoys me is that wages go up and productivity goes down. The higher up the food chain one gets the more they demand for doing less and the cycle just goes one and on
