DISCUSSION -- October 2016 300-word Writing Challenge (#23)

[Droflet]

Holy cow, Crystal, hope you feel better soon.

 

[crystal haven]

Thank you. Yes, all of us in the car are okay. A lorry tried to occupy the same space we were in on the motorway. Sent us spinning. We ended up on the embankment. We are shaken and also a little stirred.

Sorry about the votes.

 

[Ursa major]

A lorry? That sounds awful.

*Sends hugs to all concerned*

 

[crystal haven]

Very scary, Ursa. A foreign lorry - left hand drive. I don't think he knew we were there. Thanks for the hugs. I do feel I need hugs today.
Anyway, I don't want to take over this thread, so once more sorry about the votes, and back to the challenge discussion.

 

[Ajid]

Sorry about the votes.

Which motorway were you on?

Exactly the Same thing happened to my other half recently.

 

[crystal haven]

M62. I hope your other half was okay.

 

[Dan Jones]

Crikey, that sounds terrifying. Left-hand drive lorries can be dangerous, no doubt. So many blind spots. Very pleased you and yours are ok.

 

[Vaz]

Glad to hear your okay Crystal.

 

[Ajid]

M62. I hope your other half was okay.

Hers was on the M25 on Monday, exactly the same thing though which is spookey.

She's fine, a sore neck and head though.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Thanks, Perp. I'd given up on a vote this month. Cheered me up no end.

 

[Droflet]

Many, many thanks, Perp. Thinking back six year when I was a wee little Chrononaut, you gave me my very first compliment. Something to do with the death of Will Smith, as I recall. Meant a lot.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Blimey, was it that long ago, it seems like only yesterday

 

[Perpetual Man]

The more I think about this though, I can't remember saying it you you Drof, I think it was to some guy called Telford, but not you

 

[Droflet]

Yeah, I buried him in the back yard. I had to. He kept drinking my beer.

 

[Luiglin]

Yeah, I buried him in the back yard. I had to. He kept drinking my beer.

If he was called Telford he deserved it. Have you tried driving round that place? I used to work with one of the engineers who was involved in designing that road system. It was a fact he tries to keep secret.

 

[Dan Jones]

I've driven on the M54 by Telford, once. It was Christmas Eve eight or nine years ago, and the road was completely, totally empty. Had the whole motorway to myself for miles and miles. Best drive ever. In fact, that would definitely be one of the upsides to the apocalypse.

 

[Droflet]

Only after I wrote the book did I discover there was a place called Telford. Silly me.

 

[LittleStar]

A really good month for stories this time around, so it was a hard choice to whitle my final six to the top three,

The three runners (though all very close to winning my votes) up are:-
Heijan
Cory
Perp

And my votes go to:-
Starbeast
Ajid
Hazelrah
