I really like the scene you set up here, and the imagery and word choice is great, too. “Mud-brown slideshow” is particularly cool.

The speeding ticket was a funny addition to a very serious ficlet. Nice balance that way and a good read.

Thanks much for the comments, they are appreciated.

This is my first Ficlet, so I hope to improve. My goal is to write one a day, we’ll see how it all turns out : )
