A Prescient Moment

Melanie was waiting for the light to change at 12th and Broadway when a large fellow in a big truck and 10 gallon hat roared up right beside her. His truck cab loomed above her old Buick. His stereo boomed so loud her windows rattled. His truck was worth less than one of his monster tires. Melanie chafes when a big truck parks next to her at Walmart especially if an SUV pulls in and parks on the other side. She’s afraid she’ll back out and hit an oncoming car like her father did. Minutes later Melanie arrived at Walmart and had to park between a truck and SUV. Visitation will be held at 4 on Monday. Donal Mahoney
