Story Premise #12: Bungee Birthday

On Carla's 40th birthday, she scheduled a bungee jump.  She had no one to go with her.  On her walk to the jumping point, she cried in her quiet unnoticeable way.  She didn't want to jump but she knew she had to.  She had broken too many promises, abandoned too many plans. She joined the line.  The guy directly in front of her instantly started with the chit chat kitty kat routine.  Carla tried to ignore him, giving short responses, and avoiding eye contact, but he blathered on.  He was annoying as all get out.  Finally he bungeed off the bridge and Carla muttered, "Good riddance," under her breath as she was hooked to the bungee cord.  The jump underwhelmed her, but she did get a boyfriend out of the deal.  "Frank" was waiting for her below. He walked her to her car, chatting all the way.
