Fiction Friday!!
So I'm participating in my first fiction Friday challenge, here's the premise....
[Fiction] Friday Challenge for July 17th, 2009
On the way home from work your character stops into a music store and purchases an unusual musical instrument that they’ve always wanted to learn to learn to play. Why today?
***************************************************************************
Today was on of those days I wish I could quit my job, thought Gia. Everything that could go wrong went wrong, whenever she thought she solved a problem she found new problems. Normally she can keep her bosses happy, today they were less than happy. But not just today the whole week. Her confidence in her ability to do her job was at its lowest. She wanted to escape, she wanted to hide. Thank goodness it was Friday! She never thought TGIF would mean so much to her.
Gia was dreaming of a glass of Reisling at the stop light on Sunset and to her right was a Guitar Center. A faint smile spread on her lips and when the light turned green she didnt continue her journey home she sped up, recieved a few flips from fellow L.A. drivers as she made her way into the Guitar Center parking lot.
She was immediately intimidated by all the instruments she didnt know how to play. After beating on a few drums and strumming a few guitars she came across a tamborine. As she held it she remembered going to Matchbox Twenty concerts and Rob Thomas shaking his fine ass with a tambarine as the rest of the band played. Of course Rob wasnt the only artist she's seen with one but he was one her favorites.
As she began to play around with it one of the Guitar Center employees asked if she needed help. As she was about to put the tamborine down she realized she felt instantly better after such a shitty day. She told the sales person she was just buying the tamborine. After making her purchase she stopped at Ralph's to pick up a much needed pint of Cherry Garcia, went home changed into her favorite pair of yoga pants and tank top, poured a glass of the Reseling she was dreaming about, found her favorite Matchbox Twenty song You're so Real on her ipod and just banged her tamborine as if she was Rob Thomas on stage.
It didn't matter if she off beat sometimes she just knew this made her feel good. As she felt better and she knew Monday won't be easy but simply knew it will be better.
