Prompt #131.

Jocelyn Rundle loves to feel in control. She is strong-wililed, determined, and a perfectionist. She tends to ignore pain, push herself and body signals ignoring warning signals. Situation: Jocelyn is in an airport, where her flight is cancelled. She is on her way to the most important meeting of her career life. What does she she do?


Jocelyn Rundle freaks out. Pulling her hair, she's calling her friends and coworkers on what she should do. People around her dodge her as she speedwalks to the phone booth because her cell phone has just died. She is FREAKING OUT! Jocelyn's stress timer is like a bomb. KABOOM! She yells at the person who calls out the announcements when is the next available flight. The next flight is about several days from now at 11 a.m. Her meeting is tomorrow night at 7 p.m. She speaks fast and very loud in the phone as if she is like a siren of a policecar rushing to get where it needs to. Jocelyn jumps and jolts in every turn of the way in the airport she gets to. She skids and stops at every corner. Jocelyn is clueless of what to do next.

Mahn, I can totally relate to her. Right now, I want to weep. I want to cry until I run out of tears and breath. I want to slowly evolve into an organism that is connected with the ground and just stay put gradually turning into stone. So that I could just stay put, solid, not having to move and inch or break, but to just stay for at least a couple seconds.
