Bob,
This is very suspenseful and very short, but tells a whole story. It sounds like he is commiting suicide. But when he reaches for a knife instead of a gun, then there is hope. Not many kill themselves with a knife in a car.
I like the twist at the end. Is he going to share the sub?
Merry Christmas up there.
Joan

You are amazing. To create such suspense in so few words and then come up with such a benign ending. Only you can do that, I am sure.
I love your little vignettes.

'The Voracious One' builds such tension and is so gripping that when it ended in humor, I thought twice before laughing. Beautifully done!!!

Thanks for the entertaining story and big laugh.

Great job.

Hi friend,
Uhuh! So he cut his sub in half! Good one! I was both surprised and amused. You certainly have a wonderful way with words and did such a good job of "setting the mood" and then changing it! IMPACTFUL! :-) Best wishes.
Cheers, W ^-^

Great tension-builder, Bob. Love the little details about the simple action of reaching into the glove-box. Then of course we discover how innocuous the scene really is!
