This morning I touched a discarded throat lozenge that was sitting on the window ledge of my bus because it looked like a polished stone or pearlescent button. Thence: sticky, contaminated fingers. Yuck. Should have thought that one through.
Haha oh my gosh. This made me laugh because (a) I could totally see you doing that (b) I can totally picture your reaction (c) this is totally something I would do too
Count on me to get swine flu from touching bus candy. ;-) Well, I was sitting next to someone at the time - I looked over at her, but her expression remained enigmatic...
I am a writer of fiction and essays with an abiding interest in literature by and about women. My work has been nominated for inclusion in the Best New American Voices anthology, a Pushcart Prize, a four-time finalist in the FENCE/Summer Literary Seminars annual contest, and has been featured in Quick Fiction, City Arts Magazine, Hoarse Quarterly, Pacifica Literary Review, District, & Wigleaf. In August, I left Seattle for Wyoming with the goal of finishing my novel. Please feel free to contact me at kirstenruewrites@gmail.com.
That is no way to start a Monday!
