A GREAT DAY WITH AN ODD TURN

It is safe to say that we all have had days where everything that could go right for you did. There just isn’t a feeling as good as that as far as I’m concerned. Those days are the ones that bring to our attention just how an average day or worse is just that. Back when I was going to Felicity High School, I had a day like that. Well, almost. Let me explain it to you all.

I was in my junior year, and at sixteen I was enjoying growing up as well as about any boy can. I farmed on a large level for that era in agriculture. I earned enough to own my equipment and my car. I was involved in just about every extracurricular activity school offered. Yes, life was good. One weeknight, the school held a dance, and I was all excited that we were having it. First of all, it was on a weeknight, and this got me out of the house. Second, I had a date! This might come as a surprise, but I did. A girl in my class whom I had dated a few times before and was a fun person to go to things like dances with. I got to be out on a date on a weeknight. This was spe cial.

So the evening arrived, and I put on my best paisley shirt and a pair of blue bell-bottom pants. I must tell you all I looked my best. I got to my date’s house on time, and even talking to the parents went well. I drove my fire-engine red Galaxy that had just been washed and waxed and parked it as close to the gym door so all could see my car. It looked its best that evening. We entered the dance and got with friends, and the evening was a total blast. The music was great, and there were many slow dances, and this was good if you are a guy. Fast dances for guys seldom go well and can cause a lot of snickering at a guy’s lack of coordination. A slow dance, however, was not only conquerable, but a guy got to be permissibly close to the opposite gender. So when the dance sadly ended, I took my date home and got her there before curfew and said good night and headed back to Felicity and on my way home and not really in a hurry, as I was running through my mind what a perfect day and evening I had just had and was very happy to have experience d it.

That is when my day took a turn for the worse. As I drove into a straight stretch, I suddenly saw several eyes looking at me, and they were on the road in front of me. This brought me out of my euphoric state, and I began trying to avoid hitting those eyes. As I looked at the highway in front of me, I saw an open space in the other lane and pointed the car in that direction.
