Might as well!

by Avidguy

Chapter 7 in Her Promise

It's not like you are exactly on schedule anyways, and you do feel a bit nervous about getting back on the road again. Walking around might help sooth your nerves. You're surprised that at least from the outside the bathroom looks like it might be relatively clean. Not the best,...

Right turn

by Avidguy

Chapter 3 in Her Promise

You head down this direction. You know your parents visited the church more than anything, and the driveway is worn in a way that looks like there were more left turns out of it than right. That, and a right turn is easier, you don't have to cut across the road. The road's comple...

It's as if she would have taken that right turn

Nah, you can just check in the car

by Avidguy

Chapter 7 in Her Promise

"But... I do need to get going." And with that, you swing yourself into your grandparents automobile and buckle in. Checking yourself in the rear view mirror and seeing you still look perfect, you realize how silly you were to worry. "Next stop, the city! Here we go! ... Uh... r...

Thank him and pass on the offer

by Avidguy

Chapter 6 in Her Promise

Standing there for a moment and weighing your options, you finally decide that you just can't take him up on it. "I'm sorry" you say in your sincere, apologetic voice. "I really just don't have the time. Thank you so much for your help though! I mean it!" An obvious look of dis...

Whatever he wants

by Avidguy

Chapter 8 in Her Promise

"U-okay" you meekly agree. "Whatever you want." *But what in the world would he want?* you think to yourself, only conjuring up two types of police activities: noble police fighting crime and corrupt police extorting money. "I knew you were smart. Don't worry, this ride won't...

No!

by Avidguy

Chapter 8 in Her Promise

Overcome by a wave of self-assurance, you muster up as much courage as you can and hold yourself proudly. "This isn't right! If I've done something wrong, then I've done something wrong. If I haven't, I haven't. So... take me wherever I need to be taken!" The officer chuckle...

Flag down the police officer

by Avidguy

Chapter 7 in Her Promise

"Excuse me?" you begin in your normal, sweet voice, unheard by pretty much anyone around you. "um... excuse me! Officer!" you exclaim louder in a pathetic but higher pitched tone. The officer turns around and walks toward you and you let out a sigh of relief. He appears to look.....

Dart blindly forward

by Avidguy

Chapter 7 in Her Promise

Shaking off the frozen fear, you dash forward, breaking out of the grasp and darting past the rest of the crowd that was crossing. With a glance back, you scan the sidewalk but realize you do not know the face of who you should stay away from. Gulping and questioning your decisio...

Wait to take responsibility

by Avidguy

Chapter 6 in Her Promise

You put the car in park and step out, whimpering, and wait next to it, facing the sidewalk. You look around to see if the owner of the car you hit is going to be returning any time soon. "Come on, God, why me?" you mutter in high-pitched disparagement and kick the ground bel...

Introduction

by Avidguy

Chapter 1 in Her Promise

Your own tender, slim hand clasps the wrinkled hand of your beloved grandmother as she lies on her bed next to your grandfather. The two look at you and smile warmly. "You know we're so proud of the woman you've grown up to be" croaks out your grandfather in his raspy voice...

Park

by Avidguy

Chapter 5 in Her Promise

You were never taught how to drive, much less parallel park, but fortunately, you see a few spaces in a row that are empty, and you swing the car in, as it continues to pull forward up into a space of your own. "Stop stop stop, no no no!" you shout, not realizing the speed o...

Grab your purse and leave the scene

by Avidguy

Chapter 6 in Her Promise

You hurry up and head out of the car, grabbing your purse with the money, but leaving your suitcase behind. You know it wouldn't be fun to drag that thing around. A few people turn and look at you, but no one pays you any particular interest. You don't notice that it's far more m...

Go have dinner with him

by Avidguy

Chapter 6 in Her Promise

He seems nice enough, and he has helped you out with directions. Giving him a smile, you nod in the affirmative. "Sure, I'd love too. Why not? But it's a bit early for dinner, isn't it?" "How 'bout you just hop on in my car and we'll go out on an early lunch break. This...

Turning in to the gas station

by Avidguy

Chapter 5 in Her Promise

You need a break from all of this stress. You give a yank on the wheel of the car and it heads relatively smoothly into the parking lot of the gas station. You drive up between the two lines that are out in front of the store and put the car into park, much to your disbelief. It...

Turning around

by Avidguy

Chapter 5 in Her Promise

Doing the best you can, as you move to a point where you can, you yank the steering wheel to the right, the car veering into the parking lot of the gas station and swerving back around into the road once more. You spin the wheel back the other direction as the car rocks from the...

No, just keep going

by Avidguy

Chapter 4 in Her Promise

You say a small prayer for the man and hope that he finds his way, but you probably would just be a danger to him with your driving ability. You begin to see buildings in the distance. You're almost there! Shortly, traffic becomes thicker. A few horns honk near you, probably beca...
