‘This place is driving me crazy.’
‘You’re doing their driving, Logan.’
‘What?’
‘If you’re doing the driving and it’s making you crazy, then it’s, you know, self-inflicted.’
‘What are you on about, Morgan?’
‘No, listen. Ever since we entered Michigan, you’ve been banging the steering wheel.’
‘That’s because these people are crazy. They overtake on the inside, for pity’s sake.’
‘That’s because they drive on the right.’
‘That’s crazy.’
‘At home the inside is the outside. So here the right is the wrong.’
‘And you fella! Morgan, you’re an idiot.’
‘Thanks.’
‘Don’t change, will you?’
‘Not a chance.’
This week’s prompt from the Carrot Ranch is…
April 16, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about something crazy. Laugh like crazy, show the setting of stir-crazy or go off the rails on a crazy train. Have fun with the word and the situation, but go where the prompt leads!

About TanGental
My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline.
I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy.
I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.

It’s so unnecessary that they can’t change for us. It’s like all these other languages. I mean they’re all very nice but surely English is enough for anyone!!

Funny we should be driving ourselves crazy when no one is driving!

I don’t know what it’s like around SF but here the lack of traffic has seen the average speeds and shunts increase almost like a Covid graph.

So they’re in Michigan? Did they get their pizza in Chicago yet? Goodness, are they headed up to the Keweena to see Head Quarters and the Unicorn Room?
