Tuesday – Anything Possible

~ John W. Howell

As most of the regulars know I have this annoying habit of taking pictures as I ride my bike and then writing little stories about what I see. The story is usually a piece of flash fiction inspired by the photo. Today is no exception. I saw this little car on the beach and couldn’t help myself. Hope you like it.

The Trip by John W. Howell © 2015

“Okay. Where are we?”

“I’m not sure.”

“It was your idea to leave the movie and go on a trip.”

“Did I know the real world was not the same as the film world?”

“I think you could have made a guess it would be different.”

“Sure I thought it would be a little different.”

“But what?”

“Never counted on riding along on a sandy highway.”

“And not hitting a crab.”

“Well, that too.”

“So what do we do now?”

“Do you have your phone?”

“Yes.”

“Give it to me.”

“Please?”

“Please give it to me.”

“Here.”

“Hello. Triple-A? Is this the Disney Pixar Cars Triple A? Oh good. I need a tow. We hit a crab, and the front tire is messed up. Yeah, a crab. How big? I would say as big as the car. Hello. Triple-A? Hello.”

“They hung up?”

“Not sure. I still hear laughing.”

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.
