The Hidden Driveway
I wont lie: there are a lot of things I want in life, and some of them Id even pay for. Rather than listing them in some aimless order so that I can feel bad about not having these things, I will instead focus on one thing that is actually attainable: a hidden driveway...
Ive wanted a hidden driveway for as long as I can remember, which is sometime between yesterday and tomorrow. I was driving on a busy road when I saw the sign to my right that denoted the hidden driveway existed while implying I should be careful of it. And I was because who am I not to follow a sign, especially when it pertains to something hidden?
Many would consider hidden driveways to be dangerous because a person who backs out of such a location may be hit by oncoming traffic or even outgoing traffic, or even a wandering turtle with a jetpack. Sure, there are rearview and side mirrors, but those with hidden driveways are rebels, and rebels dont use mirrors except to adjust their ski masks and glow-in-the-dark sunglasses...
One may now be wondering why I would want a hidden driveway if they are indeed so dangerous. To begin, it would help to cut down random visits from people I dont want to see. I could even be extra nice to these people, inviting them over for the best cheesecake this side of Mouseville. But then, alas, theyd never find my driveway. Thus, Id be known as a nice person who "unfortunately" lives at a location that is hard to find. This would also elevate the reputation of the cheesecake...
The better reason for wanting a hidden driveway, though, is that it would make me seem like a secret agent every time I leave for work, head for the local convenient store, or even move the car so that there is more room to play horseshoes. To add to the mystique of my persona, I would leave the driveway only when it is dark outside, or when everyone else is at some local festival that I skipped because of how hidden I am. Eventually, after a couple of years of keeping up this routine, I would not even need a car because no one would be able to see it anyway, which contradicts the reason for having one. Rather, I would walk everywhere that is within walking distance and everything else I would have delivered...
Such would be the life of a person with a hidden driveway. If you have one, please invite me over sometime soon so I can practice backing out of one...
But I digress.
