I was feeling the Christmas Spirit, perhaps intoxicated, so when a Friend asked if he could borrow my White Van With No Windows In The Back for a night I said "Sure, why not?"
The next morning the Van has been returned, and I take a look in the back.
A pair of woman's pink underwear, inside-out.
Strips of used duct tape.
A tub of Cool Whip, half-full or half-empty, depending on how you look at such things,
A freshly rinsed tarp.
The rope is missing.
The shovel has mud on it.
And an empty package of Twizzlers.
I feel like I have been cheated on. My Van has obviously been used in assisting someone else's fantasies.
And the smell of spilled beer, fear and FeBreze is still thick.
When I touch the steering wheel I feel like I am touching a Stranger.
Rule Number One: No One Drives the Van But You.
Christmas always makes me do Stupid Things.
I am Laslo.
