The made up car

This entry is on the edge of the weeks theme at Illustration Friday. The illo doesn't contain a car simply because of a story with a totally made up car.

When I was doing the laundry a man broke into the laundry room. I don't know how he managed, but he did. And he looked as having problems with toxic substances...
I tried to remain calm, simply asking him if I could help him with something. He looked surprised over the fact that there were someone behind the door and had to make up a story. The story was that he needed water for his car. The engine was boiling, he said...
Since I didn't have neither a bottle or a jar, I told him to go to the coffeeshop nearby instead. He left and I closed the door, as if that would help from having him there again...

A small adventure, probably without a car, but with a lousy excuse.

hehehe, I like it! Not the fact that someone freaky bust in on you, I like your illo, I like his expression, and I really like that way you've made a story about a probably ficticious car into a cool IF entry!
