Smiles author,
I had so much fun reading about sunshine (your car) of what she did to make you find happiness that took place during a blizzard.
Best to you in this flash fiction contest.

I used to own a Datsun I named Sunshine. "She" pulled the same stunts during foul weather. I like how you personify your car throughout the story and the ending is amusing.

So glad you enjoyed 'Sunshine', Rod -- and how interesting that you had one of your own....my cousin had that same yellow datsun (ha-ha!) and it's name was 'Horris'! :) ;) Thank you for stopping by today and have a wonderful week! :)

My pleasure. Rod

This is a very good short story and ends on a surprise note... we all expected a calamity. Good match up with the name of the car and the photo. I am curious,..... since you are a female, why are you writing as a man??? It seems a lot of your writing has a masculine slant... hmmmm... lol
All the best,
Melissa

Sorry, Melissa -- I guess being a physics major in the eighties (one of two girls in the entire department) and having all sons (and therefore hosting all of their activities growing up) helps a bit. Thanx for the read an review.
Comment from Poetic Friend
lol. Until I read that last sentence, I was wondering why you would name the vehicle, Sunshine, and not Rainstorm.
The ending made all of the Sunshine's mishaps worthwhile.
In its brevity, the story was well-written, capturing the moments and character development. The main character being the car.
Thank you for sharing, and good luck in the contest.

Haha, you actually made me laugh! It seems that Sunshine did you a huge favour. We simply don't know when lady fortune will smile upon us ;). Great job!
