Very funny. I especially liked these lines:
"Please say you're kidding, Shaun."
"You're kidding, Shaun." said Shaun. Since the car started I'm guessing he scared the oil and gas with his funny face. LOL

    I tinkered with the idea that Shaun was the only person in the car anyway.

Not sure I fully understood the conversation. Seems to be a continuation of a story and a double character, the funny Sully (Sid). Thanks for sharing your story, and good luck in the contest. Well done, dear Bill.

    There is likely room here to tag this scene to a dozen stories. Thanks for looking in.

I guess we never know anyone. And especially, those with dual personalities, alter egos, or whatever you want to call them when talking to others. Don't call me Ric, this afternoon I'm Bubba. Thanks for sharing.

So humurous in so few words. Well done on sticking to the word limit and providing us with some tongue in cheek humour to boot. A great flash fiction piece.

Best of luck Bill. Jacqueline

I'm a little confused about who is talking. Now I read it again and I got it. It's your usual silly (Sully) story. But I like the story form better than the script form. This car repair genie is very useful.

Well done.

Bill,
I love the dark humor in this great 75-word story.
It's ominous and quirky. In the end, we wonder, 'was another hitchhiker spared'?
Good luck with this one, Bill.
Cindy

Maybe we all need alter for times when things wrong, and especially if we're feeling the urge to murder someone. If we go though with it we could blame in alter and mayby plea temporary insanity. Nice flash.

What a wonderfully intriguing read, as I am not sure whether I am happy the car started or not, for Shaun's sake, very well written and best wishes for your contest****kahpot

It seems that Shaun needs his alter-ego to keep him out of trouble. If the car starts at the end of the story, I take it that Sully is safe. I assume Sully is a hitchhiker but don't really know that. What does Shaun have against hitchhikers? This calls for lots of speculation, but that's what flash fiction is about. Best of luck in the contest. judi

Ha ha ha, I think we all curse when we have car trouble. I remember when I was running out of petrol once and I was literally praying as I was driving that I would get the the garage before the car conked out! I made it! I enjoyed your fun write Bill, love Dolly x
