Happiness. It's relative.

No, I always go slow down my driveway, then I look to make sure no cars are coming and then back my car into the street unless I see a little boy looking at me, his face framed by my rear window.

What happens here on Red's Wrap is all over the map. There is no single theme, no overarching gripe, no malady of my own or others that dominates. I write about what seems important or interesting at the moment and what aims me toward hope. I write stories, essays, poems - whatever fits the day and the mood. Nothing stays the same, here or anywhere. That's a good thing. Happiness. It's relative.

When I rent, I ask for cars with cameras in them for exactly this reason! Nice take on the prompt.
I love the conversational feel of this–like I’m overhearing only a bit of a bigger story–and I get a picture in my mind of the speaker and start to imagine more of the story…
I enjoyed this. Leave’s me wondering about the little boy.
I always get scared backing up, worrying about what I can’t see.
And if you see a little boy, you stand on the gas? ::just kidding!!::
Scary
Slow and steady…safety first! Nice.
I like this. Nicely done!
