Randy took the stairs down from Veronica’s apartment. It was only five floors and he usually chose stairs over elevators. Outside, he raised his arm and hailed a cab. He could have simply cut across the park but there would be less explaining to do if he returned home in a cab, he’d told Amber that he would be at a trade show in St. Louis. It was just a little white lie. Nobody could get hurt.
Right?
This week’s prompts were:
- outside, he raised his arm and hailed a cab
- A little white lie
- woken by the silence
Missed out on the first one but I figure you can just apply that to the author. It’s all good then.
Oooo…so much like mine! Damn! Wish I posted first (because this is a competition, RIGHT?)
