抖阴社区r's Block (Complete)

Chapter 1

Oh, and then there's this writing career, well now that is another story. I've had several books published, fourteen in all but only one of them went well, and wow did it go over big.   I was in shock when the money started rolling in, so much so that I might have went a little overboard and spent it all. There's more where that came from, right? Wrong. I haven't sold another book since and the book that hit it big might keep me floating along, only enough to eat.

So, here I am a small-town girl in a big city on the verge of starving while I try to write my next big novel. I wrack my brains, trying to form words into sentences and then into paragraphs, but nothing happens and if it does its crap. Have you ever written like five chapters of a book and erased every bit of it because it was terrible? That's me right now, sitting here at my window watching the people below, using them as inspiration, but finding even they are no longer inspiring me to write.

When I was younger my mom would take me to the park and I used to make up stories about where the people were going and what they were doing, sometimes even what their lives were like, but now, I can't even put five words together to come up with a sentence.

抖阴社区rs Block!

If the writer's block doesn't end soon I'm going to have to do the one thing I swore I'd never do, move back home. From the moment I left that one horse town I swore that I'd never return, but I can't afford to live here and living on the streets is not happening, so I see a whole lot of groveling in my future.

I can see it now, mom will be so excited that the entire town will know within a matter of minutes and dad will start cleaning his guns. He'll want to know who hurt his little girl. Like I'd ever let a man close enough to hurt me.

Let's pretend for one second that I haven't already started packing my bags, what else can I do. I guess I can waitress. Oh, wait, I tried that, and it turned out terrible, a guy ended up with a head full of spaghetti, well that's out.

"Hey mom," I said with a fake happy tone, you know the one where you want to make it sound like you are so happy when really your entire life is falling apart.

"What's wrong?"

I swear the woman has ESP. "Mama, I think I'm going to come visit for a while, would that be okay," I asked, wishing my life didn't suck so badly that I had to tuck my tail and run home.

"Of course, daddy and I would love to see your smiling face."

I for real don't think I'll be smiling when I'm stuck on that little island again blocked off from the rest of the world, but I pretend for her sake, "I know, I'm so excited," I squeal, making myself want to vomit in the street below the window I'm currently perched on.

"When can we expect you?"

I let out a long sigh, "is next week to early?"

****

Well here I am a week later, tucked into my tiny Volkswagen beetle with Fluffy on my lap. My car is so packed with my stuff that there isn't room for him anywhere else. Anyway, here I am sitting on a ferry holding fluffy, chewing on a Slim Jim, while I wait for it to dock on the island.

The first thing I'm going to do when I get on the island is stop at The Little Diner on Main Street, that's actually the name of the diner and it isn't on main street. I once asked Alice, the owner, why she named it that, she chuckled saying, "Well deer this is the main street," meaning the street that goes through town. She's a nice little old lady, but a little strange.

I let out a sigh of relief when the ferry finally docks, start my car and pull it away from the ferry just in time to see blue lights flashing in my side mirror, great.

"Ma'am your car..." He pauses, making me look up.

"Alex," I smile at him, thinking well this is awkward.

"Your mama said you were coming back to the island, " He said then stood up straight, fumbling with the ticket pad in his hand. "Well Trina, it's a law round here, you have to be able to see out of your rear-view mirror. I'm gonna have to right you a citation."

Now normally I would sweet talk my way out of a ticket, but since it's Alex, that isn't happening, so I hand over my license and insurance card and watch him walk back to his car, in my unobstructed side mirror. Damn he has gotten hot in the past ten years, or maybe it's just the uniform, nope he's hot, I think as I pet Fluffy, hoping to keep him calm while we wait for my ticket. I look away from the mirror when I see him step out of his car. Hell, I don't want him catching me checking him out after I left him the way I did, no letter, no goodbye, just gone.

"I also gave you a citation for driving with a cat in your lap...."

I cut him off, "let me guess, that's a law round here," I said mimicking him. I thought it was funny but apparently, he didn't because now my car is on the back of a tow truck and me and Fluffy are in the back of his squad car.

I beat on the cage separating us, "You can't arrest me for making a joke."

He turned around and laughed, "Watch me," and then turned back around.

I haven't been in this town for ten minutes and I'm already in the back of a police car, reminds me of the old days. The only difference is, then the officer would have taken me home, Alex isn't so friendly. After forking over my last one hundred fifty bucks, I'm back in my car, headed home
