At 3PM I got laid off. On my drive home I got a flat tire. When I went into the trunk for the spare, it was flat too. A man in a BMW pulled over, gave...me a ride, we chatted, and then he offered me a job - I start tomorrow.Today, as my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood around my mother’s hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent words before she died. She simply said: “I feel so loved right now. We should have gotten together like this more often.”Today, I kissed my dad on. ”“When I’m ready to get a summer intern or clerk job, will you introduce me?”“Let’s wait until you get a bit closer. You have four years of pre-law before then!”“True!” she said.She finished her tea, then served lunch. While we ate she asked about the accident and about how I’d been hurt, and how that had affected my karate.

We went through 22, 21, 20 and 19 but then the car jolted to a stop, the floor lights went out, and the overhead light disappeared, although a little white emergency light came on, casting shadows everywhere.The woman straightened upright and said in a scared voice, "What happened? Why aren't we moving?" I'm not sure. It looks to me as if the car lost power." Why?" I don't know. This is a very old building and an old elevator and maybe it needs repairs. It could be that the whole building has.
