Ingredient for Life in a Comet's Tail

Life in the city.

So I’m sitting in my car, with three cars ahead of me waiting to turn left, on a two-lane road I’m going straight. Guy behind me also has his left-turn blinker going. Light changes. Guy behind me immediately honks. I put on my flashers, get out of the car, shut the door, get Haku the service dog out of the back seat, shut the rear door, walk up to the guy, whose window’s down, and ask, “Is there anything I can assist you with?” No. “That’s good. I’m late for an appointment, but if I let that keep me that from offering help to a person in need, I couldn’t live with myself.” Huge smile. Guy doesn’t know what to say.

Get back in car and go. Just in time for him to get caught by the light.
