The Key
As I was walking with all my stuff in my hands, I thought about what it would be like to be in a movie. I wondered what movie I would want to be in if I had the chance. I wonder what it would be like to be in a movie after the movie ended.
I continued walking until a car, that seemed to come out of nowhere, pulled up next to me. The driver rolled the window down and stuck their head the window. The person driving the car was an old lady. She had gray hair and was wearing a white shirt with a pink sweater. She had glasses that were attached to a chain.
"Excuse me dear, but could you tell me how to get to Maple Street," she asked?
"Umm.yeah. Go down this street, and make a left. Go for about a mile and it just turns into Maple," I answered.
"Oh thank you so much," she replied.
"No problem," I answered. I gave her a quick smile and continued walking.
"Do you need a ride somewhere," she asked?
"Umm.no I'm fine thanks. I only have to walk down the street," I answered.
"Well if your sure," she answered, sounding disappointed. "But there must be some way I can repay you for being so generous."
Being so generous I thought? I only gave the woman directions, not my kidney. But I didn't say that. Instead I said "No. Really it was nothing," and I kept walking.
"Oh wait," she yelled. "Please wait!"
I turned around and she was out of her car, running after me. I stopped and just looked around as she caught her breath. What could this strange old woman want to give me?
"I have something perfect," she said and started to dig through her bag. She found what ever was she was looking for and extended her arm holding the object.
I didn't take it. I just stared at it. It looked like it was a key of some sorts. A very old tarnished key.
"Go on, take it," she encouraged.
I looked at her. I figured what the hell. I may as well take it. I mean it'd probably make her happy. So I took the key, said thank you and kept walking. Now I had no idea what the hell I was supposed to do with the key. Nothing I guessed. Just as I was about to walk into Sam's house I heard the woman say, "Use it carefully." I turned around but there was no one there.
