“Get Your Kicks…”
By Scott L Vannatter – 100 Words
Herbert was losing hope. He knew he had never had any “kicks,” so someone had taken them.
Now he had found where to look. Problem was he had been driving on this highway for several weeks without finding anything. The police were even beginning to know his car. Two had stopped him and when he had told them what he was looking for, they had said if he found them in their jurisdiction, they would put him away.
Now, he was suspicious that the police were involved in the theft of his “kicks.”
He was running out of gas money.

Sounds like Herbert might be missing more than his kicks – I got a sense of dangerous obsession and perhaps mental illness. I’m not sure it was intended, but I felt this was sinister – loved it.

Oh, I like that! I always like it when different people come up with such different ideas. I didn’t write it to be sinister, but can certainly see it!!! Thanks.

I agree with Janet, this seems both hilarious and sad at the same time, just someone looking for their kicks and thinking the police stole them. Nice story.

I can’t decided whether to laugh, feel sorry for him, or both, Scott.

I hope Herbert realises where to look for his kicks before his gas runs out. He needs to get a life. I like this.

Yep, I imagine a lot of us can identify, at least in part, with Herbert.
