100 Word Challenge- and the car stopped suddenly

We have joined a challenge to write a 100 word (close to but not over 100) story that incorporates the phrase.......and the car stopped suddenly.......

In the near future we will join the world wide site that is participating in this challenge and be able to comment on others writing and receive comments on our own writing.


Here are the top 5 we chose to share with you:

It was an ordinary day in the town. Carter was on his way to work planning the weekends next barbecue and his sons next birthday party when suddenly heard...... AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOO! The car stoped suddenly and carter got out an ran. A missile was coming fast. but it was to late the missile had hit. BOOM! Carter woke up in the hospital. He had lost a leg and half of a arm. He was lucky to be alive. When he recovered he went to Hawaii and lived happily ever after.

One day my family went on a trip to La Grand for a baseball game. A friend drove down with us, they were driving. We saw everything on our way. When we could see La Grand we went down the last bend when the car stopped suddenly... there was a tree growing in the road! We all got out of car to go and look. We pushed and we pulled but it could not move. So we drove around it. But we got hit. We started rolling down the hill. We were all good, but in pain.

There once was a man named JoMo and he loved pie and he loved to sleep. One day he drove to get some strawberry pie and then when he was driving in the middle of the road there was a big boom sound and the car stopped suddenly and the air bag blew up in his face. JoMo did not know what to do besides sleep so he did. When he woke up the car was filled with gas. So he kept going and got pie and took it home with him.

One day my mom and I were driving to Portland to visit my family. We did I a lot of fun things. We stopped and got some drinks one time. One very long hour later when we were almost to the hotel the car stopped suddenly we were scared we didn't know what stopped the car and was now almost in the car we thought it was something big because of its shadow. Then we opened the car door it was just a sweet little cat we just ran out of gas so we kept the cat and named it Lou-Lou.

We all got up out of bed and packed for the camping trip.After we packed we started driving to the camping site. We where in the woods when the car stopped suddenly. We where in the middle of the woods so we could not walk out. Also we did not have any phones so we could not call for help.We all set up the tent and ate the food. After we ran out of food we tried to catch fish out of the river.We only caught one. After a while someone found us and brought us to safety.
