I was going to have him get into a car accident. But I figured it would be better for him to realize that he is NOT the end all be all of this woman's existance.<br /><br />@ Lee- Perhaps she didn't realize it at first, but she realizes it now. <br /><br />@ Grammy- I'm glad you stopped by. Thank you for reading.<br /><br />@ Stephan- Actually it is the same guy as in "New". But a year passed between "New" and "On the Road for Nothing" I had thought that the man that answered the door was just another apartment worker or a friend. But I just wanted to leave you all with HIS perception, and his surprise.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958530958484080973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224158042970904385.post-64507779606464611842010-04-18T08:45:42.457-07:002010-04-18T08:45:42.457-07:00MARJORIE ~
Wanna know what idea occurred to me aft...MARJORIE ~<br />Wanna know what idea occurred to me after I read this piece and the one you posted just prior to this ("New")?...<br /><br />I thought they could be part of the same story. When the "Jerky Guy" knocks on her door, it's actually one of the movers working in the woman's apartment who opens it. "Jerky Guy" mistakenly thinks the mover is a new boyfriend she has.<br /><br />This came to me because of the similarity in the character's lives: in both cases there's a new mom who is on her own.<br /><br />I know this isn't what you had in mind with these two different pieces, but it's odd the way they could actually be melded together with just a few minor edits.<br /><br />~ "Lonesome Dogg" StephenStephen T.
