It was past midnight.
She was speeding her car trying to flee.
Goons were hot in her chase.
She was not going to let them catch her.
She sped through little-known by-lanes in an unfamiliar part of the city.
In a dark stretch, her car suddenly stopped.
It wouldn't restart.
She had two options- either stay put in her car and risk being traced or get out and look for a safe hiding place till the morning.
She chose the latter and hurried as fast as her feet could carry her towards the direction of a solitary house with light.

ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteWe can only help that house offered safety. Nicely done.

ReplyDeleteThat happened to Brad and Janet when their car broke down and they took refuge in the "Frankenstein place" (a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" - 1974 film - reference). -James
ReplyDeleteI agree it's the best choice of the two options given the circumstances she's in.
ReplyDeleteIs this the lonely house on the Ellidaey Island owned by Icelandic Singer Bjork?
ReplyDeleteHopefully she will find a place to stay. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHoping it's a safe place to hide!
ReplyDeleteJust ruins a good chase scene when cars just give it up like that. Well told.
ReplyDeleteI think she's made the best choice. It's a very spooky place for her car to break down. (Margaret)
ReplyDeleteOoh! Good one! Now what's going to happen to her?
ReplyDeleteHopefully someone is home and they are a kind soul.
ReplyDeleteAnita, I think the second option is better. Hopefully, she will safely escape her pursuers. Notes to Women
