Prompt submitted by LukeWBennet
Walking home drunk one night, you find a van parked in a disabled space with no permit. You investigate the van and find a man sitting in the back wearing earphones; eavesdropping on him, you realise he is a getaway driver waiting for his accomplices to return from their heist. He sees you.
It’s boring, but I did it.
I smile at him and stumble exaggeratedly. I slyly take a photo of the license plate as I pass, because there’s no way I’ll be able to remember it right now. I light a cigarette and once I’m out of view of the van I start running. I see a dumpster and crouch behind it. With the police on speaker I ding the photo of the license plate and tell them everything. After that, I keep wandering so as to not be seen by the robbers. Eventually, I’m sobered up my feet ache and my legs wobble. I call an Uber and sleep the night off.
