Catherine’s Sense of Direction

Catherine’s butt was cold from the concrete already, and now it was starting to go numb.

She looked at the time on her phone. She’d been here for over an hour, and was more than a little pissed about that.

“Where the hell are you?” She typed.

… “Gallery. Like I said. Why U not here yet?”

Catherine stood up and looked around.

… “Which one?”

… “MOMA. 53rd St. Tell me you’ve not got lost?”

“Hey Siri,” Catherine said, “How many galleries are there in New York?”

    I don’t mean to be a prude, lawd knows I use that word way more than I should, but it seems to me, for the sake of your writing, that you will turn off a portion of your audience, maybe forever, just by using that one word. Crap would have worked here or if profanity is preferred, “shit”.

    Okay, that made me laugh. Yes, I don’t want to think of just saying “meet me at the gallery” in New York and hoping to actually meet up. Great story. 🙂

    Dear Mr. B.

    Sounds like she needs to turn on her GPS. I can relate to Catherine. I’ve taken many “tours” of my own city just by making a few wrong turns.

    Shalom,

    Yep. Obviously not a native. Rookie mistake. Screw MOMA and hit Shake Shack; there’s one right around the corner. 🥤

    Funny story.
