The weary truck hiccuped to life and Dan heaved a sigh of relief. “There's still some life in ya, isn't there Gertie,” he thought as he shifted into first and turned towards the rutted dirt road heading into town.
You have such a talent for leaving possibilities, for making readers think about where the story is going. Love it!
ReplyDeleteGlad I've come along with you and Gerti for the A to Z Challenge ride, Donna.
ReplyDeleteI got goosebumps. :) Great story. I could feel the emotions as he drove.
ReplyDeleteThanks, maybe some day one of these might grow into something more. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you gave it a whirl, DC. You need to keep writing and networking. You've got a comedic writing gift for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ciara. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great story and beautifully written :)
ReplyDeleteOkay...I thought he was going into town to trade Gertie for a newer model...but I guess that's what you wanted me to think. You are so messing with my mind!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
ReplyDeleteLOL! It's fun to see where readers minds go....
ReplyDeleteYay, you used my prompt! Such a sad ending though. I especially liked the part about the dad sitting him on his lap. My dad did the same thing when we traveled country roads, and it was such a special memory. Although now I guess a parent doing this would be dragged into court for child endangerment.
