Friday Fictioneers photo from Fleur shows one of my irritations when driving at night; bright headlights from oncoming traffic. However, the rustic-red coloured sky is the lovely.
Thank you to Rochelle for the prompt and many other stories can be found HERE.
The Future is Bright
Don’t be angry John!
Forgiveness is humble, trust me.
Debbie, trust me! If only I can reach eighty-eight mph and drive into the white.
Then we will live a future of eternal happiness.
John, please slow down!
He pushed hard on the accelerator and drove into the oncoming light.
A horrendous roar of a foghorn exploded towards them.
Debbie grabbed the steering wheel and turned the car on to the verge.
The DeLorean rattled over the rough gravel and ground to a stop.
Oh, Debbie… I’m really sorry.
Please John, I forgot to feed Baxter.
And, he needs his walk.

Wow, that was a tension-filled scenario. He’s lucky to have her to slow him down … waaaaay down!

DeLorean? You don’t want to smash that up. Go “back to the future” already.

Hah, nice twist. Good on Mabel to know her priorities. Next time they take Baxter with them and off they go into the future.

The woman must be on some fine antianxiety medication. Excellent story, James.

Well, if they can’t go back in time (or forward), at least they can get back in time to feed Baxter. What kind of future of eternal happiness doesn’t include Baxter? I don’t think John thought this plan through.

Yep, John has been watching too many films and lost track of reality. Thank you.
