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)

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