Micro Fiction

The man is lost in a deep thought, not knowing how he fell to a knee.  He looks up at the stunning white mirror, which lies in front of him and sees his reflection staring back at him.  He had never seen anything so shiny so beautiful, a smile came to his face.  A drop of water then hits his hand, as he comes out of his deep thought and remembers why he is where he is.  The man wipes the water drop of his hand and starts to dry any and every water drop he sees.  It is almost as if the water drops and the man are long time worse enemies.  Wiping vigorously the man attacks every water drop until they are absorbed into his rag, which he suddenly noticed was in his hand.  The man’s mind swirls off into a deep thought with every swipe of his hand, he finds himself in a childhood fantasy, driving his fast car down the open lonely road, free spirited driving.  He remembers pulling up to a traffic light in the car, and turning to see a beautiful brunette bombshell in the shiny red car next to him.  He gives the woman a head nod as if you to say what’s up, when then suddenly there’s a sound “click”, which immediately took the man out of his dreaming state.  The gas pump had stopped.  The gas station attendant stops attacking the water drops, stands up,  puts his rag in his back pocket, and says “your complimentary car wash is done, have a great day”.
