Taxi to Japan

Date: 4/2/2020

Level: 🔴🔴🔴🔴⚫️ It was day 10 of quarantine and my family was beginning to fall apart. My parents were constantly arguing and my sister and I had nothing left to do. We couldn’t leave home unnecessarily and my dad was constantly reminding us of the dangers. BUT later that day one of his friends called him and invited him out. Without hesitation he left. Conveniently ignoring his own recommendations. My mom immediately became infuriated but did not hesitate to make plans of her own. We were heading to Japan in the next 10 minutes. We needed a taxi ride to the airport but our usual guy wasn’t running late at night. He gave us a number for someone who does and we called. The girl answered and said she doesn’t usually do late runs but she’ll make an exception. She didn’t know how to get to our house so we had to explain to her the directions. Suddenly I was in the middle of a busy street with loud noise coming out from every corner and she could not hear me. I kept repeating the same directions over and over to her. Right at the 5th lane, left at the first corner and right again. She seemed to understand so I hung up and needed to get out of this loud area. My house was a block away so I got home and saw a bunch of my family members were there too. They were all leaving to Japan. My sister unfortunately could not go and my dad was nowhere to be seen so she had to be left home alone. This frightened me because it was so late at night. I kept remembering things that I didn’t pack and kept running back into the house. It felt like hours had passed and our taxi had not arrived. I called her and a man answered the phone. He told me that this is his taxi service that he works with his daughter. But that there’s this crazy girl who also pretends to be employed my them and answers the phone sometimes. So he is not sure who answered my call. But he said to try again since it was connecting line and had 2 phones on the same number. So I called and the original girl picked up. She said she was on her way but she got lost. I repeated the directions again and she was finally here. We made sure my sister was locked and safe at home but at this point is was beginning to clear up. We waited so long it became morning. We needed to stop by grandmothers house. Her house was not as I remembered it. It was full of new items all on display. We walked in and took a few items and left. We were on our way. The only problem was that.... I woke up THE END
