Stay

Cursed

Zoe

With no map and no phone to make a call,what seemed like another two hours of non-stop driving passed when I started to hear a scraping noise at the back of the car.
My eyes saucered.

What the.....

I got out of the car and circled round the back to see the source of the noise.

You've got to be fuck'n kidding me............ You've got to be........

Oh Come on!

It's bad enough that I'm lost, with no phone,........ but a flat tire?!!
Come the fuck on!

Isn't this car supposed to cost a fortune for a reason...
Maybe for the exact reason that it should never ever have a flat tire. Everr!!

How on earth am i supposed to fix this.

I pulled at my hair.

Okay, deep breaths. Deep breaths.
All I need to do, is take out the old tire and put in the new one in the boot.
Easy peezy, just like the mechanic does it squeezy.

I opened the boot and took out a spare.
Just like the mechanic does it squeezy.............

After a good stound of proving my incompetence, I accepted my defeat.
I had no idea how to take out an old tire, talk more of replacing it.

"I'm doomed!!! "I declared.

I cleaned my hands on my now greasy joggers and looked around for sign of anybody.

No one. Not even a shadow.
And the night was starting to creep me out.

I rubbed my arms against my body. It was awkwardly chilly tonight.

"Well, at least it can't get any worse."

And there was rain.

You just had to open your big mouth didnt you Zoe.?

I rushed back to my car, tried getting back in, but I couldn't. The door wouldn't open.

Fuck. I accidentally locked myself out.

I prayed as I dug my fingers into my pocket, swore when I found nothing.

Shit. No keys.

I must have left them inside the car.

Lightening lit the dark night.
This is not my day........

I need to get back into the car. The rain is freezing all the wrong places and I'm not dressed rain friendly.

When trying to Bruce-Lee my way into the car didn't work giving up was next in line.
Even if I could get back in the car, I wouldn't be able to go anywhere. Not without a back tire.", I told myself.

I slouched my vibrating body over the car.

If i start moving now i should find somewhere I can stay.

That's when I felt my head start to slide.

My body froze at the sight of my car driving itself.
Backward....
Like there was a magnet pulling it to the tree behind.

Fuck. Its going to drive right into the tree.

I forgot to put my car out of reverse. Again.
God help me, I'm not loosing another car this way.

Impulsively I started banging at the window glass like I wanted someone inside to open the door.
Then I remembered there wasn't anyone else inside.

Pulling the door which had been so uneffective before became ideal
"Why won't this damn thing open!!!!!!" I roared
