Lost and looking for directions
A woman is approached by an angry man looking for directions5 total reviews
Comment from Karen Cherry
I don't care who you are, that is funny. Plus someone there will know directions. Isn't it odd that some folks seem to think that just because they were born, they think life owes them all the riches it has to offer, without them needing to offer anything back? Good writing, good story. Karen

Thank you so much for the kind review. Funny (and a little revenge) is exactly what I was going for!

I did not bust them every time I could, so they got to surpass me, It was fun. I like winning, but the last few times, I beat the stuffing out of them both,
I am a nice person. Karen

Short and sweet and like revenge best served cold.
It's also humorick (sic) like me. Maybe we can waltz a tango sometime.
Here I am trying to find the 150 characters required.
Be well.

Thank you for taking the time to read and review!
Comment from Michele Harber
This was a fun story to read. It's always nice to see the ones who deserve it get their comeuppance. Of course, the New Yorker in me is glad the women were getting on a bus, as I wouldn't want to see what would happen if they were there when he returned.
Your story was believable, and your characters seemed real, even down to Gladys continuing her crocheting to avoid being part of the conversation. Your last paragraph was the perfect clincher.
Good luck in the contest. I like that you gave the topic your own spin, and didn't just do something generic.

Thank you so much! I first wrote it without the bus and thought "that seems awful dangerous", so I totally agree with you. :)

I'm glad we're on the same wavelength. Standing up for oneself is wonderful but, sadly, nowadays it can get you killed.

This was really funny, well written, and clever. What is Wong with some people?
Personally I would have dialed the police and had them meet him as he turned the corner. Your good writing has me scared. Best wishes.

Ha, ha, ha what a funny story with an unexpected and witty twist: "That big ol' church on 14th Street. That boy is lost in more ways than one. He needs some Jesus in his life." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.
