MAINT REQD

Tim found a website a few months ago that publishes 100 word stories, no more and no less. It sounded like a cool idea, and hey even I have the attention span for a 100 word story. This is a story I threw together for it, but never sent in. Don't read too much into the content, I am just intrigued by the idea of the Quarter Life Crisis and what it means for my generation. Also, this is the first time I've ever allowed anyone that isn't my teacher or my family read something I wrote...

Here it is :)

MAINT REQD lit up the front of my dusty dashboard. Another problem to solve with the good old Cavalier.

“MAINT REQD,” the light says, but is it the car that needs it or me?

They call it a ¼ Life Crisis. I call it limbo – ready for life to move on but unsure how to begin. I am stuck in a place I swore I’d never return to and a job that insults my intelligence, but it’s a job and more than most have.

But the light says MAINT REQD and I wonder how long I can put it off.
