Wow. I finally, actually, honest to god got inspired. Kinda cool, huh? *is stunned*

So I'm posting it here. ^_^

I make the turn and stop. The gas station on the corner proclaims its lower gas price than that of yesterday. I'll wait until tomorrow to fill my tank; it may be lower still. The thought makes me near giddy.

Two trucks are parked in the lot beside the road, their rear bumpers close to the other's, and their fronts turned away. They look like petulant children; I wonder what they're fighting about.

A couple sits in the station wagon in front of me. The woman leans to the backseat when tiny hands flail up. The baby quiets, and the man leans over, stealing a kiss that lasts longer than a peck. Tiny hands rise again as the parents kiss between the two front seats, and I imagine the little wagon carrying more little ones inside it over the next few years.

The light turns green, and my brief half a minute of waiting ends. There's another light up ahead, and another beyond that one. One's bound to turn red, and I'll watch the world again.

In other news, I got inspired to play with the vampire story again. And the Mud and Shoelaces one, too, but I don't know how I want to engineer that one yet. I've attempted three times, and it just doesn't come out right. Heeeeelp.

MWAH!
