Wordle #1082 – ORGAN
“Shit…” Kevin mutters and presses on the brakes. “Do you think they saw us?”
Before he can even finish the sentence, one of the reporters does a double-take and points frantically in our direction. Dozens more turn their heads toward us, in unison, then begin to break away. Like a horde of zombies ravenous for human organs, they scramble over one another in their frenzy to reach us.
“Um, yeah, I think they saw us,” I groan.
“Shit shit shit, what should I do? I can turn around… or run them over?”
“No,” I sigh, though the thought is tempting. “I’ll have to face them eventually. Might as well get it over with.”
Or get used to it. Somehow, I have a feeling this won’t be the last time I’m swarmed by a mass of reporters. Yay.
“Do you want me to come with you? I could come with you,” Kevin offers weakly.
I know he would make good on it if I accepted, but his body language is begging me not to. He pulls the brim of his snapback low over his eyes and takes off his glasses in some futile attempt to go incognito, shrinking down in his seat.
“No, I’ll be alright, thanks.” I undo my seatbelt and cobble together a smile. “Thanks for everything, Kevin.”
“Of course. Hang in there, yeah?”
I nod, and with a shaky breath, I open the door.
