One Step Back

(How does location affect character? Click here to find out on this week's Jared's Inkwell! -JMG)

Story Sent in by Ricky:

I took Cecilia to dinner at a Japanese restaurant that was situated a flight of steps up from the street. Walking up the steps went fine, dinner went fine, putting on our coats after dinner went fine. It was a good date.

When we left the restaurant, I held the door open for Cecilia and let her go first. As she proceeded downstairs, just in front of me, she lost her footing and stumbled.

Instinctively, I reached out and put an arm around her and pulled her back, saving her from a tumble.

She shoved my arm away and said, "You did that on purpose!"

I was stunned, "Did what? Save you? I–"

"You put a trick step there to make me fall so you could touch me!"

Innocent me glanced down at the innocent step. "These steps are concrete."

"I hate them! And I hate you!" she railed, then kicked at the step, wobbled a bit, then spun around and stormed away from me, the steps, and any chance at a second date.

  1. I use trick steps to lure trashsluts back to my trailer, so I can have sex with them on a pile of garbage twice while my twin watches.

  2. As someone who works at an architecture firm, I can tell you that we install at least one trick step in every 6 to ensure men/women can molest their dates with a credible excuse. Also, so old women break their hips. But that's just helping natural selection along.

  3. I made a movie about pushing my date down steps so I could get a grope. My dad said it played on HBO.

  9. Saggy, my adoration of you has taken a step up. (Okay it's the best I can do. I'm not clever like the rest of you.) But we all know that the step is to blame. The step saw her coming and thought: "let me see if that guy will molest her if I just move myself up a little bit when she comes down me." Asshole step.
