Last Ride

 Head out the window, feeling the breeze… I’m waiting and waiting. This is our last drive.

My life has been one of simple pleasures; walks in the park, visits to the beach, the sun on my back. I am loved.

“Sit,” Ted says. I do as I’m told. Ted rolls up the window. He’s steering with his knees & eating a sandwich.

There is a succinct POP. The car rockets to the right. We slow. We exit. The tire is sagging into the grass.
Ted stares at the tire and sighs. “What do you think, Bud?” I flop into a patch of sunlight.
Ted expertly replaces the flat tire. Instead of traveling, we have a makeshift picnic on the side of the road.
