Pardon me, I thought you were a lady. It says on you page that "he" Is a top ranked author. If this is a mistake go to your messages and pick the contact button and tell Tom. He usually fixes stuff within 24 hours. Great story. We shoulda tied! But, sorry I ain't giving the points back. hahaha Karen

That was quite the ride to the P-stop and I would imagine the lesson learned was equally absorbed by the sister with the desire to teach her sister a traveling point.

Oh, for the memories, unpleasant though they may be, for see, I too, have experienced the dreaded I-95 corridor. I m thankful I left Philly for parts in the South in 65 and haven't the scars to prove it.
That said, I confused at the ending.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! As the girl who's had the nickname "Betty Bladder" my entire life since college, I can SOOOOOOOO very identify with this story!! I, though, am quite sure I would have just stood out in the the rain and peed right there standing up, since I was getting drenched anyway. What's a little more water, just warm and running down my leg?

You handled it like a champ. And made some fabulous lemonade (i.e. this story) from your lemons). I love the ending!! xoxo

You have very good very effective use of illusion. You're setting is excellent also which enhances the plot which doesn't seem to know how to quit Oh this is excellent. There is a bit of a gallows chuckle that must be elicited with the reader who possibly can identify.

Excellent story. And very well written. Should be a winner.
The only thing is the 80 in a 65. That's just a stroll through the park. I do that when i have an empty bladder and all the time in the world. 90 would come closer to making your point.
Best wishes.

Hahaha! Been there, done that, except not from a cold brew. This is fiction, but it reads like a true event. That's what makes it such a good story. I wish you the best in the contest.

Oh lord, help me! Being pregnant would have even made it worse if that was at all possible. It seemed that every card possible was being played against you. Loved your spirit and also the cold brew.
Great job!
Smiles, Carol

This was my first thought regarding the contest, too. How often have we had to pee so badly that it felt like our teeth were floating and we had no place to go? This is an excellent entry. Good luck in the contest.
