[ WP ] You Were Driving to Work One Day and Your Car Suddenly Started Flying .

I was up in the clouds. 
 
 Fluffy ones frolicked down below me. Swirling thin ones swishing merrily past my car. I poked a finger out the window, mystified at how I went from driving on the busy freeway to suddenly bobbing up in the sky, thousands of feet above the ground. The wind whistled past my finger, feeling bitterly cold against my skin. 
 
 It felt real, enough. I rolled the window back up. 
 
 I rustled through the papers strewn along the passenger seat. Eventually I found my cellphone, hidden beneath legal papers and forgotten lunches. Wiping it off, I hesitated at turning the phone on. Her angry face still branded on my memory. The tears this morning as Anna and I snapped harsh words at each other. Little Maggie running back to her room, a small stuffed toy in a grubby hand. I cradled the phone, thoughtful. The floating clouds around me were silent, peeking at me curiously as they flitted past. 
 
 So many angry words. I forget why we fight so often, especially since I loved her so. It could n't be good for Maggie either, with her round sunny face. It was time for a change. Gingerly, I turned my phone on and scrolled over to my contacts. My finger hovered over Anna's name for a few moments. 
 
 Then with a shake, my car bumped against something solid. I jumped, uncertain of this turn of events. Pushing my way up the seat, I strained to see what I could've bumped into, all the way up here. I blinked in fascination. A large platform stretched before me, and in the distance, I saw a person hurrying down to greet me. 
 
 I paused, glancing at Anna's number. Then, with a bit of hesitation, I opened my door and stepped out onto the clouds, the phone still in hand. 
 
 The person was close enough to stretch out a hand now. He smiled wide at me, `` Welcome, Mr. Peterson. We have been expecting you.'' 
 
 `` What is this? Where am I?'' I could n't help but snap, as my nerves jangled. 
 
 His grin became broader. With a wide swoop of the hand, he proclaimed, `` Welcome to heaven, sir.'' 
 
 And with a shudder, the phone slipped from my fingers and plummeted to the earth far below.
