F.D. Mack

As I sat in my little confined space, I was reflecting back to the beginning. Why is it that something is always against me? It’s funny how you look back and see all the red flags. But to be honest, I really didn’t want to see the truth. Was it really me? I kept telling myself it’s not you, it's them.

Submitted to Contest #112

On A Rainy Tuesday As I was leaving the bar downtown on a rainy Tuesday. When I got to my car I checked the dashboard and saw the time was 9:30 pm. It wasn’t as late as I thought, and so I smiled. As the rain poured down onto my windshield, obstructing my view I slowed down my speed so I wouldn’t hit anything. No one should have been on the road, but it didn’t matter, I had to be cautious just in case. I reflected back to early in the evening. Hanging out at the bar with a few friends from work...
