"WHY ME"
KCThelastboyscout,
The feeling is apparent here; what do we feel when out cars will not start. We depend on them. I see the step by step and process of hoping and even begging for your vehicle to do what is asked. Funny, of course, as an inanimate object is deaf to any pleas.
I enjoyed this layering of inner thoughts regarding the hopes placed on transportation. A fun one!
blessings,
Kathy

ah hahaha I thought someone was breaking your heart for a moment there. Oh boy I have done this a few times with my first car. Always would feel like a heart break when I thought I had to walk home.

I love this piece! I wasn’t sure where it was going at first...this has happened to the best of us! Relatable, funny, truth, and full of emotion! Well done!!

lol Oh my, the dreaded please start story. And with today's cars rolling them off really isn't an option :)

It took me a few reads to get this and then I understood. Very good. I like it when you are led down a path and then you realise you've been 'had'.
Well done for such a tastly little gem!.
Cheers,
Alan

Oh man I've felt that panic in the dead of winter after I left my lights on all night. You conveyed the panic perfectly.
