Week 7

Assignment:  Write a story including a traveler, someone waiting, and a package.

Concept: We go about our daily lives with our lazy habits not having any idea how our decisions effect other people.

Traveler: UPS man.
Waiter: Business man
Package: Cell Phone

Story:  A business man is impatiently waiting because his cell phone was broken and he was waiting for his replacement that he needed before he drove 20 hours for a business trip.  Unbeknownst to him, UPS is taking there time with the package, putting it off and thinking it is not that important.  Finally the day arrives for him to leave for the trip and he has no choice to do so without a cell phone.  As the man is driving at night of the first day, the UPS man is ringing his doorbell with the package in hand.   As this is happening the business man is startled and goes off into a ditch and down far into a forest and is trapped in his car.  The UPS man hops back in his truck and tosses the "unimportant" cell phone in the back, clueless that that cell phone could have saved the man dying in his cars life had it gotten there a little sooner.  He drives away whistling along to the radio as the business man says his last prayers and closes his eyes.
