I looked at my Rolex as I fastened my seat belt.
I had just forty minutes to save an innocent from a criminal punishment.
My father never trusted my driving skills. But I had no time to think.
As I reached the end of the road, my right foot had pushed the brakes too hard to prevent a collision of my body with the steering. My instincts wanted me to rethink.
This was my last chance.
“To be or not to be”…
I closed my eyes.
The next moment, my car had turned right. It was indeed “Right”.
I had decided “To be”…to be truthful and honest.
I was headed to surrender in front of the jury for accidentally killing a child.

ooh, I could almost feel the jolt of that sudden stop! Very effective 🙂
Thanks for reading and commenting Colette 🙂
What a solid punch in the last line! And here I thought my story was good. Lol. Proves beyond doubt that sometimes less is more. Loved the story, V! Awesome interpretation and so wonderfully narrated. The last line ties up the whole story so beautifully.
Thanks for your lovely comment and inspiration Piyusha. Just trying my hand at something other than poetry. Your piece was absolutely wonderful 🙂
Very well written! The energy and pace of the story was brilliant!
Thanks Rashmi!
Nice surprise ending.

The last line spins the story and wins the heart.
That was the idea…I am happy I was able to bring it out. Thanks 🙂
Intresting end
Thanks 🙂
