Working Away

A Story by Wild Rose
"

Weekend is over and I have to drive back to work

"

Working Away


Sunday night the weekend is over

Start out for work four hours drive down the dark night roads

Oncoming headlights dazzle; road works diversions, traffic lights now there's fog

The town sign comes in view

Soon journeys end

 

Town streets confuse only the second time down them

Last time it was day light

Do we turn here - no it is the next one

We want twenty nine > twenty five; twenty seven.

Here we are . Now where's my key

 

In the house all is quiet

Landlady had left a flask a warm drink

Some sandwiches; don't really want them now

I will eat just one so not to offend

In my bed she has left a warming bottle

Ah comfort > and sleep

'Working Away'
Pamela Bush,
I found this tale to be comforting, to see the experiences of your life; going from relaxation and back to daily routine. Life is like that. We do process our experiences and feelings. Again, this was so good to read and see commonality within your true and honest words and identity.
Blessings,
Kathy
