| I was carpooling with Ruby after a long day at the
mall. I needed to run a few errands there, and she works at a
clothing store. She generously offered to share a ride. Just as we
were getting on the freeway, we noticed the stalled traffic. Static
rivers of red lights. Nothing was moving and we were still only on
the access ramp. We would be lucky to even get in a lane before
sunset. As we inched forward, Ruby started yawning. Her grip on the
steering wheel relaxed. Her eyes blinked from the oncoming car
lights. She was so tired, she offered me to sleep over at her place,
to avoid unsafely extending the drive in the small hours of the
night. But I know Ruby, she's a flirt, and behind her noble
intentions of protecting other drivers, she wanted a piece of dick.
I warned her. It doesn't matter how sleepy she would be once in
bed. |
