for Six Sentence Stories where the given word is Lost.
..
.
With just twenty-five minutes to go until my job interview, I double-checked the address on the letter then set off, but five minutes later I was lost.
I asked a passing priest for help and he said “when you reach St Peter’s church, turn left and it’s on your right”, so I crossed myself, trotted off and five minutes later I was lost again.
I spotted a chap on a bench swigging a can of beer and asked him for directions and he slurred “walk to the Dog and Duck, turn right and it’s there” but five minutes later … you’ve guessed!
I stopped a little old lady, and she squeaked “see that retirement home, well turn left there, go left, then left again” and five minutes later I was back where I’d met her!
Surprisingly, after another five minutes, I found the office and got the job, so on the way back I donated to an old folks charity, said a prayer of thanks in the church, dropped into the pub for a celebratory drink and twenty-five minutes later stepped outside, tripped, and fell flat on my face.
“Can you direct me to the emergency department?” I asked a bloke hobbling by on crutches.
What a fantastic adventure.
Both good and bad!
Yup!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! GOOD JOB!
Thanks and thanks again UP!
Heeheehee! Some people have all the luck, good and bad, on the same day.
Indeed. The other morning I somehow lost £25 in cash while out shopping, then won £30 in the evening in a competition!
Love it!!
What more could I wish for!
Original and funny!
Thanks so much, Myrna.
Loved this – being navigationally challenged and friendly with the spirits myself!
I like that expression! I’m a bit satnavigationally challenged when trying to fathom out that thing in my car!
Ahh – But all good things come to those who wait …… or at least survive long enough! (PC way of saying getting old!) 😉
We all navigate by our own landmarks, don’t we!
Chuckling here, Keef
Absolutely so! I couldn’t possibly reveal what mine are!
3 steps forward, a trip to the ER back. Never a dull moment with this guy, lol
Entertaining Six, Keith and excellent audio reading.
Some people go through life that way! Thanks so much, Denise.
Loved this Keith – good to hear your voice too!
Nice of you to say so, thanks very much, Chris.
25 minutes for a celebratory drink? Seriously? I’d have hardly started by that point. 🙂 Hilarious, Keith, loved it.
Perhaps it should read 25 hours! Cheers, Doug.
OMG! It’s my story. I get lost all the time… Well done. Happy Thanksgiving.
I think I saw you wandering around! Thanks, Indira.
:):) many times I was going round and round.
Nice work with all those voices!
Yeh, that’s just how it goes, even when one takes time to be grateful. 😀
indeed it does! Thanks so much, Liz.
I like his sense of gratitude in spite of getting lost multiple times.
He’s that kinda guy! Cheers, Frank.
Love this, Keith. Made me wonder what I’d use as markers. The style just suits the words beautifully.
I always make mental markers when visiting strange places! Thanks so much, Jenne.
Perfect, and deserves to be shot as comedy sketch. I like all the characters and the roles they play, right down to the chap on crutches at the end.
Getting there safely and on time to a job interview is probably more worrying than the interview itself!
Now that’s a thought, though I don’t think I’d want the starring role!
Agree 100% with you about getting there on time – been there, done that, got the job!
Cheers!
