It’s the weekend! Woot!
Continuing from last week with Derrick’s story, Truck Me How I Like It, below. A little longer than six sentences, for context.

Fontana stopped when he saw me and sighed. “Please tell me there isn’t blood on the pavement,” he said, his silvery gray eyes wary as he waited on my response.
“No, sir, Mr. Fontana,” I said. “But … can you do something? I gotta get going.” I tried to keep the frustration in my voice to a minimum, but it was difficult.
The manager shook his head. “Shit.” He placed the stack of papers in his hands on a nearby desk and walked back the way I’d come in. “Let’s go.”

Hopefully, Mr Fontana will solve some of his problem. 😉
He will, in more ways than one! 🙂
Love the opening line.
Thank you! 🙂
Wonder if his day is in any way likely to improve…
It will, will a little gnashing of teeth. 😀
No blood on the pavement is good. Anything else he can handle. LOL Fun snippet. Really curious for the next bit.
Thank you! There won’t be any bloodshed, but it’s a near thing. 🙂
Great opening line! 🙂
Hehe 🙂
Heh, love that opening line! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
That’s an interesting scenario.
Isn’t it? 🙂
It might not be blood on the pavement, but he still probably won’t like dealing with it!
Might come close, though. 🙂
