Just Call Me: Invisible (100 words)

Iโ€™m invisible, not Ralph Ellison-invisible, but the invisible that occurs when a woman turns 50. Even now, Iโ€™m sure you donโ€™t see me sitting in this car outside the bank. At first, I was miffed, but then Connie and I discovered the silver lining.

Connie dives into the back seat. โ€œGo!โ€

I nonchalantly drive away.

โ€œHow much did you get this time?โ€ I ask.

โ€œA few million.โ€

Visible, I had morals. Invisible, Connie and I are multi-millionaires.

Over mojitos we laugh as a police spokesperson says: โ€œAvailable video shows no unauthorized person entering the bank vault.โ€

Invisible even on tape.

  1. Oh so funny! I am seriously liking the unexpected turn of your recent writing. Wanna rob a bank???

  2. A fun and unexpected twist on this prompt. I guess we really don’t look at who’s sitting in a car parked among many other cars. Hiding in plain sight. I can’t quite figure out how Connie didn’t trigger anyone on the video, though. Maybe she’s just very good at looking like she knows what she’s doing ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Great story, Sascha. If you think 50 is invisible, try 60 or over. I was well over 60 the last time I went to the U.S. The guards at one of the airport exits didn’t check my purse. That was some years ago. It might be a different story now. I hope so. ๐Ÿ™ — Suzanne
