ALICE
I rode the taxi as I should. I went home as I should. My face is a mess. My clothes unruly, I’m aware I looked like a smashed party goer who’s up all night banging her hips on the dance floor. Completely wasted and wrecked. I sighed.
When the taxi arrived at the front of our store, I fumbled for my wallet. The driver’s giving me the look. The disapproving kind that says ‘I drop you this far lady, better pay me in exact amount or I’ll drive you straight to prison’
I shake my head. Dumb prejudiced people and their pathetic logic. I take out the last fifty dollar bill in my wallet and slapped it in his upper right chest.
“Thanks. Keep the change.” I hissed with a smile. He stiffened.
Never expected me to have money right? Good riddance folk. I step out of the taxi and slammed the car door behind. I forced my chin up. Puffed my chest out and walked like a crooked model Miss Universe.
