Challenge 175: LATE ARRIVAL

There are some people who can always be on time, wherever they’re going. This prompt is not about these people. Late to dinner? Late to work? Late to the entire adventure? Whatever it is, your characters didn’t make it quite on time, and now they need to fix that. Maybe they have to rush to make it before the event ends. Maybe they need to take extra time, or make profuse apologies. Maybe they missed the whole event, and now they need to hear the story of what happened – or they need to find a new option entirely! Some people try very hard not to be late and mostly succeed; others don’t particularly care either way, or no matter how hard they try they can never quite make it. Where do your characters fall on that spectrum? Are they the late ones, or are they frustrated by someone else’s lateness? Or do they just go with the flow, no matter what time everything starts? Write a story about a late arrival. BONUS GOAL: “I think we’re out of time.” If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
