Excellent Washing the pain and sorrow away...... Flash Fiction : Buried At Sea by Begin Again 200 Word Flash Fiction writing prompt entry

The water pounded against the rocks. Carrie struggled with her thoughts as she leaned against the Porsche. Its wheels teetered dangerously near the cliff's edge.  Last night the idea suited her, but in the gray light of morning, memories of their love nagged at her bleeding heart, urging her to reconsider. Closing her eyes, she remembered her careful planning. It was a miracle she'd kept the car a secret, a present for their twenty-fifth anniversary. She couldn't wait for his steel blue eyes to melt into puddles when he saw her gift. She'd left work early, driven home, and placed a huge bow on the car's hood before rushing inside. She'd removed her clothing except for the lace teddy. Finding his office empty, she hurried to their bedroom, opened the door, and saw him naked with another woman. Her fun stopped. Chunks of earth crumbled and disappeared into the foamy water. Carrie wanted everything to disappear, buried forever in the sea. The car, golf clubs, first edition books - everything that once meant something - plummeted toward the raging water, smashing against the rocks, bursting into flames. The sun moved from behind the clouds. Smiling, Carrie started the golf cart and drove away. It was a day for new beginnings. Writing Prompt Write a story that is between 200 - 210 words.
