Flash Fiction Fridays (late) post 1

I am starting late on Flash Fiction Fridays. This one we shall retrodate as for the 1st. This one isn't very mythology or folklore based unless we can now count payphones as folklore or you count inanimate objects having their own opinions and desires. Flash fiction is generally classed as 2,000 words or less (short stories) with various subtypes. This is somewhere between a twabble and a drabble.

 

Flash Fiction: Death of Pride

 

She stared at the lump of steel, plastic, rubber, leather, glass, and wire. It continued staring ahead with its glassy eyes unmoved by her tears and cries. Her toe found the rubber with speed even though both she and the lump knew that would do nothing to fix the problem. It would do her no good to open the hood, her fluids and oil were topped off by her dad before she left home. There wasn't anything under there in this situation that she knew how to do. All she wanted was to get to her new home, start her life and make her family proud. This lump had other plans it seemed, and they involved a long walk to the nearest payphone.
