car TROUBLE

Once upon a time, there was a little red car. It had had it's good times but for a while now, a girl named Gretchen, who drives the car, had been having a hard time with it. For this little red car was not the beauty it used to be and seemed to always have a problem. Fix after fix, bump after scratch. Now this little red car's transmission died out and on the day of April 10, it was taken in to the shop. Gretchen was without her little red car and had to be shuttled by all the great people in her life. After exactly a week, the little red car got to leave the shop! But at a very high price. The very day the little red car came out of the transmission shop, a freak snow storm hit. The little red car slipped this way and that and got hit by another car. Poor little red car. The frame was bent among other things so it had to be taken to the shop, yet again! Finally, and after a (kind-of) good run, the little red car was totaled. After many hours of weeping, Gretchen ('s parents) got a check and went out and bought a new car. The end.

The beautiful flowers Gretchen's boyfriend brought her the day after her little red car got hit.

Gretchen's new car. A Nissan Versa to be exact.
