Friday 55 Flash Fiction # 106 New Van



"I'll drive".


"No, I'll drive said Sid.


They argued until Bob snatched the keys.




Sid's fist caught Bob in the eye.


"What's going on here?" demanded the Police Sergeant.


"I want to drive the new van" said Bob.


"That's ridiculous" said the Sergeant


"Two police officers fighting over who gets to drive the new van!"

    Fantastic quotation from Akelamalu (2010). I see it as a commentary on how people crave to fit in and often times end up losing themselves in the process.

    Too funny! I never saw that coming. The Sargeant is right though, the senior partner always gets to decide who drives!
