The Car of Your Life!
Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry to my recent challenge,
The Car of Your Life. I enjoyed each and every write:
The humility of @Mariah was very heartwarming. The narration of @Huckleberry_Hoo gave a smooth look back in sparkling rear view mirror. A gleaming memory from @Last. The child's eye view from @IamnotJasmine and @cfalcon as well as @tarynwinter were poignantly captured moments of shared bonding of emotions. Growing up and growing into awareness of machine, man, and friendship was captured so aptly by @shaynabryer and @Ness_Doublet and @Shallowgenepool.
I loved the change of perspective from car view @H1. The voice dignified and proud; and that brash irreverence of @N_Ame, reminding us that not everyone respects cars all that much!! Though I personally agree that cars should be named like @ktskr and @Obuck and @7v7. Reminders from @beatricegomes and @LARGE that driving is a dangerous enterprise. Physically, and moreover psychologically, as noted by @U and in @Fleetfoot's poetic layered metaphor.
And so.... the winner is...
@Wolvensense... with a write no holds-barred, and an otherworldly creativity built in, the essay just had the feeling of a whole different vehicle. I enjoyed the ride, by no means an easy read. Long and twisting like the roads in Pennsylvania. A state I have never fully enjoyed driving across (many a time) and usually at the most desolate of nighttime with rest station after rest station shuttered for indefinite repairs and gas stations a hundred miles appear along the mountainous highways. I appreciated the underlying social statement.
Congratulations!
And thank you to everyone who contributed by reading, liking and leaving a comment!
I appreciate you all for taking part in the prompt! ...I meant of course to write about my current magnificent silver steel, "Puszczyk," but ugh it will have to wait for another time.
