Three Things: Crossed Wires Edition

This week’s prompt is inspired by the first image below, by Bastienne Schmidt. We’ve all crossed some wires in our day, I’m sure, whether it’s the kind of crossed wires that causes confusion, or the kind where you perform an admirable feat. This week, let’s throw some wires in our character’s lives and then cross them.
