Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Hi there Mystery Writer. I loved your story and I just gave you your tying vote for first place. I hope it keeps you there now. What an eerie story but it was fun to read, as I was not expecting that outcome. Shock was very well written and I hope you at least tie if not move one more for a win on your own. good luck as it was an awesome job!!!

Yes, I'd say that's a surprise! You did an excellent job with the Surprise! prompt with your 80 words. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Yes, that would be a shock to drive up and find yourself as the victim of a car crash. You tell a complete story in your 80 words. This also would make a great beginning to a longer story and how the driver deals with his new state of being. Kind of like the movie "Ghost".
Good luck in the contest.

Oh wow! Startling conclusion. Fantastic interpretation of the competition instructions. I love it.
The tempo of your prose builds to an amazing crescendo.

Ciao author! You now have 9 votes.
I do believe in premonition,
Never happened to me though.
Most likely I would freak out.
I had no idea where you were heading with your narrative but I enjoyed how it ended!

It is horrible to come upon an accident. We had that happened last week here. The road was blocked off. There was no body that laid in the road, but there was a fire up ahead. Liked your surprise story.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Now that certainly was a surprise! I often wonder if you do see what's going on after you die. I thought you wrote this really well, it told a whole story, and the plot was excellent! Very well done. Good luck! :) Sandra xx

Wonderful poem entry for the Surprise! 80 Words or Less writing prompt contest. Pretty creepy, the way I like it. :)
Good luck in the contest.

Hi there,
This feels like a twist for its own sake. There's no indication or inkling and it doesn't add up really. I get what you're going for but all there is is the twist. No hint, allusion or breadcrumb before.
I think it needs something more.

Thanks for reading and reviewing. Perhaps I needed a few more words to play with. 80 is so few.
Comment from Jamison Brown
As a fan of Flash, I like this story. Good concept with a surprise ending. Not much more you could do with 80 words. A few edits to consider:
my late shift, tired and longing
my late shift, I was tired and longing.
As I neared my turn off I saw
As I neared my turnoff, I saw
I slowed down and stopped as there
I slowed down and stopped, as there
Best wishes on the contest. - Jamison
