What a hysterical story! It's the quiet ones you have to look out for, Nancy.
Great image of Alabama girl walking the mean streets of NYC!
I agree--it's the outcome of justice that is the attraction.
Interesting. My protagonists tend to be flawed people, and sometimes "get away with it."
Your comment about writing to create justice resonated with me. I didn't realize that's what drives me, too.
Thank you.
Laughing at your NYC story, Nancy. I'm another of those mild-looking people. :)
Way long time ago, right after the dinosaurs disappeared, a friend and I were walking in Chicago, trying to find the subway to get back to NU in Evanston. I think we'd been to the Art Institute, or maybe a restaurant. Anyway, we weren't going the right direction and got into a sketchy neighborhood with boarded-up windows, just outside the Loop. My friend had on an extremely gaudy (real) diamond ring and we decided she should turn it around while we admitted we were lost and hailed a cab. (She was not going to college on scholarship, like I was!) The cab drove past a couple of subway entrances until we stopped him. We threw his tipless fee at him and left his door open. That was the only bad experience!
Oh, I love your story, Kaye. I was returning home from the Caribbean when I lived in Queens and got a cab at the airport. The driver, thinking I was a young, stupid, thing, took off in the wrong direction. When I tried to correct him, he told me it was a short cut. Mind you, I lived there. I asked him to stop the cab, he refused and kept going deeper into Long Island. When I saw a police car, I rolled down (that long ago) the window and wriggled my entire torso out and frantically waved my arms. The cop lit up on him, of course, and when he pulled over tried to tell the cop I was abducting him. The cop laughed. I insisted on paying the fare, no tip, and my taxi of the evening was a NY State Trooper. What is it with some cabbies?
Nancy, thank you for the laugh. And Kait, how I would have loved to have been there to see you hail down that cop.
