Pictures on The Wall (Part 2 of 10)
Mark rolled his eyes. Jerry's phone rang throughout the day. Another sale, most likely.
Sherry got into her car after work, the last piece of candy clinking against her teeth. Green apple flavored. She turned the key in the ignition. Nothing. She turned it again. She sighed.
The car had only been a year old when she bought it over the summer. How could it already be giving her trouble?
She remembered the salesman she'd bought her car from saying they offered free towing for the first year. After rummaging in her purse for her wallet, she found his business card.
"Let's hope you remember me, Jerry," she muttered.

Mark rolled his eyes. Jerry's phone rang throughout the day. Another sale, most likely.
"Hey, Mark the shark," shouted Jerry from the other end of the showroom. "You mind getting that?" He pointed to the couple he was talking to. Young, perhaps looking to start a family. Jerry would undoubtably try to upsell them on the latest and greatest SUV.
Mark smiled back and got up from his desk.
"Hello, Jerry's phone. This is Mark. How can I help you?"
"Is Jerry there?”
"He's busy. Can I take a message?"
"Can you help me? I bought my car over the summer and it just died. I need a tow truck."
"Our tow truck is in the shop unfortunately."
"This can't be happening to me."
"No worries," said Mark. "I have a truck. I should be able to help. Where are you?"
