THANKSGIVING DINNER TRIP

A Story by papaed
"

answer to a challenge to write a fifty five word story

"

 I cranked the wheels but the Beetle stayed in the ruts in the snow.  The oncoming car tried the same unsuccessfully.  I accelerated.  The kids screamed in terror.  We were thirty feet from a head on collision when the wheels broke free and we avoided the collision.  We crested the hill, spinning, at five mph.

sounds like a typical winter in North Dakota, except "Beetles" wouldn't start in the winter! LOL--a great, compact little tidbit of a story! tovli

Sounds like a typical winter day in Cleveland. It is hard to write a story in 50 words. Good job
