Josha was kneeling by his dog in the middle of the highway. The drunk driver that had caused the accident had jumped out of his car and taken off down the lonely road.
” Hey, come back! You ran over my dog and he’s dying,” screamed Joshua. The driver stumbled further up and fell on the highway.
The lad lifted his companion and placed him on the back seat. The keys were in the ignition and he jumped into the driver’s side of the automobile.
He could hear the moaning from his dog and he cried to his friend, “Don’t die Roover, hang in there ! ”
He shifted gears and sped foward. The tires spun as Joshua held onto the steering wheel even though he couldn’t see over the dashboard. Up ahead was the strung-up drunk driver regaining consiousness and eyeing the vehicle with no driver in sight.
The man tried to roll out of way, but the automobile was soon on top of him . Joshua shouted, ” You bastard, I hope it was you I ran over.”
The auto ran out of gas and Josh jumped out and took his dog to the animal hospital and shouted for the vet, ” Mister, I need help! “
From the back room came the veterinarian. He looked familar as he approached. It was the drunk driver holding a knife as he spoke, ” I will take care of your dog, just like you took care of me !”

hey Oscar great story, didn’t see the twist coming!
Saw your post on the forum, not sure what’s happened but i can’t see this to accept it into TT, so if you just go back & tick TT group i can then get it into the group and then also post a link in the forum too
Sorry if you did that before…not sure what happened! Thanks for entering the challenge!

Thank’s Miri, my problem is that I never really got into computers before and it is very hard for me to understand how to do things right. I know it’s my fault, and I have been rejected many times dues to my mistakes. I made corrections to cut it down to 250 words, so the other two post were not suppose to show up. However, not knowing how to do it properly, I would cut it down and save it, so I wouldn’t loose it like I used too. Well, in the process I forget that I was sending it anyways, what a dumb bunny. Anyways, I was afraid to erase it and loose everything like I used to do due to stupidity. I’m learning the hard way, I just need to practice more and have patience. Sorry I irrate too many people when I do it wrong, they sometimes run out of patience with me because they think that I am being stubborn, but again, it’s the learning process for me. I love this group, this website and all, I just love writing, so I keep at it. Thanks for your wonderful comments and I really enjoyed your last story, way to go. I don’t vote because I’ve tried and failed, I did it wrong, soon as I learn I will try again. Remember, what it simply to some is very hard for an older rooster, LOL. Have a great day. Oh, when I was rejected two times, then it seemed like I was accecpted on a third attempt. However, I don’t even know if I was finally accepted to competition or not. They said it sounded very much like much other work. Well, that’s because my errors in too many words and trying to cut it until I succeeded. That’s why all three copies sound the same, except I changed the title on one just to make sure I remembered which one was the correct one. I wanted to keep the others because I like putting more into the story, which I did, and I hope to continue writing more into, but that’s for myself later on after the competition, if you know what I mean. Thanks’s for your time listening to excuses, I’m just a dumb rooster, dumb bunny, ha, ha, hee, hee! LOL I do have a sense of humor!

hey don’t worry! you should have seen how long it took me to learn how to make a link!!
i think your longer version has been accepted into TT, but this one isn’t showing in work for me to accept. If you want it in the challenge just go in to edit it & tick TT, then I can let it in…and post a link in the forum…i understand what you were trying to do :-)
oscarelizondo replied
Do I just tag it TT, or do I also have to check the twisted tales little square, which I just did. See, how dumb I am?

This reminds me of those movies of horror shorts that came out in the 80’s. I’ll check out the longer one, too.
oscarelizondo replied
Oh, thank you so much for reading and your gracious comments. I really want to expand more on the longer version too, I have so many ideas, but sometimes readers don’t like long stories. I have too many and I notice how hard it is for some to want to read longer versions. You have a great day!
Alison Pearce
Great write!
oscarelizondo
Thanks Alison for your comment it is greatly appreciated. It was so much fun writing it in such a short version.

I thought the twist was that the drunk driver got hit. I was so shocked by the end. Really great story here. I liked it a lot.
oscarelizondo
Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. I kept making mistakes, reading and voting for the wrong stories so I didn’t get to really voice my opinions. Maybe I’ll get it right next time I submit something. Thanks for your comments, they are always cherished with pride. Catch you later.
