Generation gap

                                                 PHOTO PROMPT © The Reclining Gentleman


 Today  Ruby is fifty and it is her father's twentieth  death anniversary.Her red and swollen eyes, did not  sleep last night. ''Oh God, I  killed my Pop''.  How could she  forget that night!!
She was very head strong.  Her father  fulfilled all her demands. That night he  did not agree to her.  He did not allow her to marry his driver!!  Red with rage, she took her car and rushed out.  Her father rushed behind her in his car. He tried to overtake her car  on the bridge, but lost control. The car  rolled down  straight into river.(100 words)

  1. Too bad he couldn't leave the driving to the professional. Not the best way to start a marriage.

  7. Oh, why must there be a gap between parents and children? But it is a universal and ageless problem.

  8. Your piece is evocative of a sad reality. That sometimes the young are so rebellious in a destructive way.
