this is very well written with good form and good flow, a great job writing this story about trying to find a car buried under a snow drift, i have to believe it was in time

You are very good at telling a story in few words. Hopefully the tow truck got there in time. It could easily be too late for someone stuck in the snow with temperatures unless they have enough wraps to keep them warm. Winter can be brutal. It was 20 here today but it felt like 7 degrees because we had a strong north wind. I think we're returned to the ice age.

Interesting little story. We think we have it bad here in the South with temps in the teens. We have no snow or ice. I few snow flurries yesterday but nothing stayed on the ground. Be careful up there in the blizzard. Anne 1204

Timely story geven the weather of late, Susan. I liked that the ending was left open -- some will find the glass falf empty and others half full. Great economy of words to convey this story.

This is an exciting piece of writing. It grabs the readers
attention. It is also a dangerous situation, one that
many face every winter. The tow truck did make it on time and everyone is safe and sound.

I love how you left this up to interpretation! I love in New York City, where we get a lot of snow, so it was easy enough to identify with the themes. All in all, a very good story!

    Hi there! IT's neat to "meet" a NewYorker! Wow. It's cold there too. Do you walk a lot? I would die...I walk our dog with the atv here, especially in cold weather. Altho, zipping around makes a wind chill worse in your face! ") Thank you for reading this and reviewing it too!! ") Susan

    Yeah... We don't own a car, so I walk everywhere, all the time.

Well if you leave it up to me I would make a big dramatic exit. But thats me and that would keep me wanting to read more. The little bit you wrote I portrayed in my head. Even though I would of liked to have read more I appreciate what I read. Happy Holidays to you.

    Hi Lisa! Thank you! Read a review for this by "TryBuck" , you will laugh! I like your idea too! These flash stories are supposed to end quickly...I am trying to learn them. Read E.P. Thomas' work if you like short stories. He is super! Thanks for reading this for me too!! ") Susan

Excellent short story and well told with a good purpose to it. I enjoyed it and found myself wondering what had happened to those in the car. well done.
