She had been looking for a sign. Was this it? Had the cosmos spread out a tarot reading just for her? She tried to decipher its message, but she was distracted. The man hummed as he cleaned the window shield. What was that song? It seemed so familiar, but the melody struggled against the discordant squeak of the squeegee. She looked at the wall again. Danger. Caution. Dead End. The signs seemed clear. But then she recognized the tune: Let it Go.
Instead of walking away, she opened the car door: “Thanks for the ride.”
Surely, a girl-dad was safe.

Had to be a girl-dad to know that song so well, right? I hope it wasn’t just a come-on!

Took me while to see where this was going but I like the sign she’s working with. Hard to know whether she’s right about a girl dad though – mayb he just heard it on the radio!

Nicely Done. Having a tune rush through your mind and you struggle to name it–is universal.

Oh that ending. Whenever there’s a ‘surely’, there’s likely to be a ‘surely not’ that equally applicable. Great use of the signs, and the disturbing sound effect of the squeegee.
