Prompts 2018 - 1. Chapter 1

Panic

Response to Prompt 665

 

“Carman, what the hell is wrong with you?”

Steven grabbed his friend and co-worker by the arm and dragged him from the conference room. Carman just drifted, almost as if he were in a drug induced haze. Once away from the rest of the associates at the law firm, Steven gave the close to comatose man a firm shake.

“Snap out of it Carm!”

“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god,” Carman mumbled. “What do I do now?”

Steven patted his cheeks with cold water from the cooler.

“Carman, talk to me!” He almost shouted.

“Huh? What? Oh, what do I do Steve?”

“Let’s start by breathing. Then you tell me what has you looking like you have seen the ghost of Christmas Future.” Steve handed his freaked out friend a cup of water.

Carman looked at the cup and giggled a little hysterically.

“I think I need something a little stronger than this!” He seemed to be coming out of his trance. “That’s him!”

“That’s who? You are not making much sense.” Steven tried to resist shouting at his friend.

“The guy from last night! The hot one that was hitting on me. He got so upset when I chickened out and left without him!”

“Wait, the new partner we just met was the guy you ditched at the club last night?”

“Yes, aren’t you listening? Oh my god, how am I supposed to work with him?”

Damn... why does this say complete?  You've hooked me, Kitt... now what am I supposed to do? :P  This is a good bit of writing with the emphasis on 'bit.' I want more. :)  Cheers... Gary....

LOL  Gary, you know I just write to shut the little voices up!  This was supposed to post as chapter one for this year  titled "The voices are back! Prompts 2018"

 

Got a pm in to get someone to help me fix it.

 

Thanks bro!

So... then... next prompt could be a continuation... maybe a tad longer?  :huh:  :)  :P

Talk to the voices bro!

 

Warning, they don't listen to me any better than Bobber's friends do him!

This is a very cleverly written short story. Or maybe I should say vignette? Anyway, it paints a delightful picture! I enjoyed it as is, but I bet it would expand into a fun story! Thanks.

Poor Carman! I guess first on the agenda is a talk, man to man. No chickening out!

But we already know Carman is a chicken!   Thank you!

Thank you.  If only I could keep those little voices jabbering, I am pretty sure I can type fast enough to keep up.

Talk about awkward. :) Not sure what would be worse, cutting out on a hookup with someone like that or having sex with the guy only to find out you work with him. You're a good writer.

Nah, I am at best a typist. Writers get that little voice to keep talking past the first chapter.

Thank you for reading.
