Carol Perkins: Trapped

Previous Column: The Heart

By Carol Perkins

From the restaurant window, I noticed a lady circling her car in the parking lot. "I recognize that woman's body language," I said to Guy. His reply was, "What woman?" I pointed to the window. "She's locked her keys in her car," I said.

She pulled every door handle as if she could open the doors by sheer force. Then she ran her fingers along the edge of each window, hoping to find a crack, likely thinking of a coat hanger. She stood back, examined the problem, and returned to the restaurant. When we left, she was sitting at the bar.

Having locked myself out of vehicles, I felt for her. My worst experience was locking myself "inside" my car and not being able to get out.
