Palms press against my ears, eyes squeeze shut, I sit paralyzed in the driver seat while my sister, Susan, paces outside, spilling expletives like a waterfall. For a moment, I think about spending the rest of my life (despite being only sixteen) riding the bus.
It isn’t too bad, I think, might even be cheaper than owning a car.
A loud knock jolts me from my thoughts, “You, get out here and survey the damage.” Susan orders.
Slowly, I step out of the car, after one glance, I immediately want to crawl back into the car. I’m never driving again.

You did a really good job of describing the driver’s reaction to the wreck — and I loved “spilling expletives like a waterfall.”

I can so relate! I don’t drive (though I can) mostly because if there is a ditch, I will find it.

I can imagine the scene – and almost wish I couldn’t!!. I’m sure she’ll get over it though. Nice one.
Here’s mine!

A bit more practice and she’ll leap the wall and fence next time. Mind you there is that tree. I agree the bus might be safer for now.

Well told story. I can understand how she feels. If I were in her place, I would never want to get behind another wheel again.

Thank you. It’d be hard to get over that. I’ve been there and knew how hard it was.
