Woohoo!
A nice clutch of stories this week. Enough to last you through several coffee breaks.
So settle in, take that delicious first sip into your mouth, feel the caffeine hit the spot and let us tell you a story or two.
This week's sentence was taken from John Steinbeck's 'Cannery Row.'
It was:
'It was not so interesting driving at night.'
No more ado; here are this week's tales:
Vanda's 'Trabant Chronicles'
A first for 500 Words: a non-fiction piece. And what a wonderful treat it is.
A delicious reminiscence of the delights of childhood stolen from under the glare of Soviet dictatorship, and featuring one of the most truly bizarre and lovable cars ever made.
Thank you, Vanda. More, please!
Todd's 'Sign Of Anger'
Ah, the wonderful and very weird mind of our Todd. He has such a talent for coming up with the unexpected angle and this one's a doozy.
I love the hero of the tale. This one will make your next drive an altogether stranger experience.
Lulu's 'I-635 LBJ Freeway'
The return of a favourite duo from stories past: that delightfully odd couple, Lulu and Lola. This time they're out on the freeway with a friend. Come and join them.
Gentle, real and lovely writing.
Dive's 'Things Become Interesting For Otto'
I love driving long distances at night, but it does tend to bring on a certain dislocation from reality.
Otto doesn't find it very interesting as a rule.
