When Karma Strikes, It Strikes Hard
by BRAVO SEO
Picture this: you and your impulsive friends thought that having a road trip is cool. With no particular reason or destination, you grabbed your car keys. Armed with a full tank and a few good friends, you started driving. You drove for hours; reached places you have yet stepped on. You're on an eclectic high, cherishing the open road letting all your worries drift away with the gushing wind. While on the road, you felt a little friction between the road and one of your tires. ��It's nothing probably,�� you said to yourself. Your friends felt the same---and thought the same as well. Little do you know that this 'nothing' will bring your joy ride to a halt. After a couple of miles you found yourself in a deserted place stuck with a busted tire without any spare. With the gas running low, you decided to look for the nearest phone booth to call a car towing company or road side service. Can't call your folks, they think you're all in school. So much for your cool road trip, huh?
Anywho, with the car hauling company on the other line, you asked for an estimate. You were given an amount, unfortunately, realization knocked---you only have change jingling in your pocket. Karma has a way with people, don't you think? Even if you don't believe in such oriental philosophy, probably you'll listen to Newton's 3rd law which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Poor you. Not one has access to any cash...tsk...tsk...tsk. You go back to the car with the hope of finding some cash. Alas! You were greeted by your own stupidity. The key, yes the key. You left the same inside the automobile. Now you really need a vehicle towing company or an understanding parent to salvage you from the wreck you're currently in. Oh, how the mighty has fallen.
Though short on cash, you tried your best to negotiate with the car towing company. You proposed that you'll hand over your credit card, as collateral, until you're able to pay such service. With all these circumstances, you're able to stay your cool and not call your parents and not peel the skins off your friends for not exerting any effort to fix the problem. Thinking that doing the latter will bring more bad than good. Perhaps, it will. You stand your ground, and dare not cal your folks. You're too proud and a bit scared with regard the reaction that they'll be demonstrating. Will I be grounded? Will the allowance stop flowing? When will I be able to drive again? You begin formulating questions rhetorical or otherwise. At the same time, you're trying to prepare 'credible answers' to mislead your parents into believing that you and your friends didn't go for a joy ride. You have a detailed plan and your shared it to your friends, they approved of it. Actually, they're not in the position to argue for they have yet to contribute anything.
With luck drifting to your side, the towing company----family owned and operated---agreed. They even mentioned a place where you can withdraw. Good. With your vehicle unlocked and the new wheel installed, you drove to the location where an ATM stands. As a bonus, aside from being directed to the main road, you were escorted by the towing company to said destination. With the service rendered, you paid them. On your way home, you stopped at a convenient store to gather 'project materials.' you were creative enough to pull off makeshift chemicals by mixing various liquids found in the store. You already have your spill thought out. 'These represents various chemicals that when combined will result in mild to violent reactions.' You drop off your friends. You make your way to your house. It's almost midnight. With the 'chemicals' on your hand and the spill in your head, you enter the house. A shocking fridge post greeted you. It states, ��Honey, your dad and I will be coming home a little late. Don't wait for us, ok?��
Moral lesson: Don't ditch school.
