Eva’s Byte #412 – The Umbrella
I’ve whittled down my stash of umbrellas to one. I’ve no idea why because I’m not saving it for a rainy day. As March winds give way to April showers, the hood on my rain slicker will suffice. If I’m caught unawares, I’ll walk through it and let the raindrops fall where they may. I’m not concerned if I look like a drowned rat in the process.
Open to my own interpretation:
Umbrellas have a tendency to become dastardly in strong winds, turning the apparatus inside out. If your umbrella has survived the trek in reaching your indoor destination for you to close the thing, it’s dripping wet. Then, what are the chances of finding a space to accommodate an open umbrella for it to dry out?
Besides the pitfalls of the umbrella itself, I’d find it extremely awkward to parasail it overhead while juggling my handbag and whatever else I need to carry to and from wherever.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall—the umbrella has always been an open-and-shut case for me. I cringe just thinking about the added nuisance of dealing with its snap-on carrying case. The more power to those who’ve mastered the grace and dexterity of handling an umbrella.
Under the umbrella of a writer, I finished drafting chapter 29 (1374 words) of my Contemporary work in progress.
*May each of us weather life’s storms at our own discretion.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
