My silly take on today's Writer's Cramp prompt. 9/1 |
Sitting in this subway car just trying to get to work, hoping I make it there on time ‘cause my boss is kind of a jerk. When deep within the tunnel the train comes to a stop, things go dark and people gasp— now they wanna get off. Folks get antsy really quick and wonder what to do; I’m just thinking I’m gonna be late, I’ve got luck like a pile of poo. Then things get crazy really fast in the middle of this breakdown: a ghost appears upon the train and says he’s headed downtown! He’s been trying to get to work for at least the last half hour; there’s a building he needs to haunt it looks kind of like Sears Tower. People scream upon the sight of this little ghostly man; they wanna run away from him, run as fast as they possibly can! But the spirit here before us raises up his hands and tells the crowd to calm on down he’ll help us as he can. He puts his hands upon the doors which emit a glowy light then suddenly the train car groans but the engine roars back to life! Then once again we’re moving along faster than the speed of light, we make it to our destinations on time and fully alright. The ghost reports to work, it seems, to haunt the Sears-like tower; I make it to work right on time and avoid my boss’s glower. |
