Whisper

Memory

The taxi driver mumbled: "Are you here for work?"
"Yes," I answered.
"What taxi service do you use mostly in Ghent?"
I explained him that I used mostly an app.
Five minutes later he asked: "Are you here for work?"
"Yes," I said hesitantly.
Didn't he like my first answer? "What taxi service do you use in this city?"
Did the taxi driver have a problem with his short-term memory? Or was he slightly drunk?
Anyhow, he helped my with my luggage, and even managed to whisper: "Take care."
