Day Thirteen


Melancholy
Nimble
Opaque

AFTER THE CRASH
Sometime after the crash, Dave had a touch of melancholy madness.
Dawn tried to console him, saying, ‘the windscreen was virtually opaque’.
The nimble pet robot had been behind the wheel, still Dave blamed himself.

The prompt at NaPoWriMo today was a bit cookie, 
so I did the Wednesday thing at 3ww.

  1. After any crash we tend to blame ourselves - maybe that's why we do (if that makes any sense!)

    1. Thanks Jae, I think Dave might have been worried that Dawn would find out that he had let her pet robot drive again. After all, it wasn't that long ago that he crashed the Batmobile.

  2. I think any crash you are involved driver or not does indeed give you "melancholy madness", the what if, the finger pointing, even the thankfulness that injuries have not been incurred...such an experience may even make you think of never driving again, (especially with a robot in charge!)

    1. Thanks, I think that Dave was inconsolable because he had allowed the pet robot to drive.

  3. Humans are not known for rational thought. But neither are robots.
