Escape

He stepped out of his office and ran towards his car parked across the road. His laptop bag weighed down his shoulders and he shivered in the cold. It was pouring, and despite all the things to worry about, he worried about getting his brand new car seat dirty. 

Seat. Sheet. Shit! He had left his file back at his desk back at the office. It rained harder as he ran back into the office. He pushed through the glass door and ran in when “Bang!”

He turned.

His car across the road looked like a red ribbon caught underneath the tree that just fell on it.

Of all the things to worry about, he worried about his umbrella in the car. 

(Monsoon's here folks! Enjoy the rain and be safe!)
