The bet - My contest story

How I finished this story (468 words)

                Josh was driving violently, still wondering if anyone was chasing him. He was so freaked out that he almost missed the gas station which he has been looking for about one and a half an hour. He checked the back once again, then took the car to the gas station. The minutes were passing by and the time in his mind was running faster than the speed of light. After a while he discovered that the workers on the gas station who were not assertive and they accidentally put Diesel instead of Regular oil. He tried to ignite the engine, but it just did not start because that diesel was stored for a couple of decades in the storage.

                He ran out from his car, took a bag with documents and started running towards Downtown hoping to catch the nearest bus at the bus stop. He got inside the bus #35 that was going to Downtown, but the gay parade on the Main Street blocked the route, so the bus stopped and the driver asked the passangers to leave the bus. Other people were running on the same street and he joined them. These runners were his potential enemies. Some people were skilled runners who were preparing for this event; others were just giving up on half way.

                Josh courageously started sprinting following runners with the same goal as he had. Some girls were so excited due to this exceptional date. But Josh did not listen to them chatting. He was running. All the business, troubles, work were simply flown away. He had his goal. And he was ready to achieve it.

                Two days before he heard that on the busiest intersection in the town, the sewage is going to be overfilled and they are almost ready to blow up and all the stuff that is inside will be flushed on the street. He was aware and totally prepared. He was planning for this and that day he recalls even today as his greatest triumph in his entire life. He jumped across the fence and continued running inside the narrow and dark streets. This was the only way to run safely and not being hit by the exploding sewage system.

                All the runners got flushed by the dirty, honestly, very dirty water, and had no chance to get into. Josh had the last 400 meters to run. His shoes were completely torn so he threw them away with the socks and ran on is bare feet. In 2 minutes he reached his destination " The royal arena. He showed his ticked to the security and they let him in. After he walked in the hall, He immediately looked at the third row. He was delighted. He came faster than his sister to the One Direction performance. He won the bet.

Interesting...:) So you like One Direction?

[Random Peter]

No, I do not listen to their music a lot. It is not my style that I like. just wanted to create an unexpected ending! Striking, isn't it?

[Aarea]

Yes its very impressive. I have never been to a rock concert and I like one or two of their songs, but otherwise am not a fan. I liked this story a lot though! Yeah, that definitely was not the ending I was expecting. :)

[Random Peter]

Thanks a lot. I tried to write something cool for a contest, yep, now I am very busy writing my new reimagined novel. It needs a lot of tweaking.

[Aarea]

I never have the patience to read novels on here. If I'm going to read a long story, I need it in front of me, with pages to turn and page numbers to look at. Idk why, I'm just weird like that. :)

[Random Peter]

I know, it is very tireful reading something on the computer screen

[Aarea]

Ya there is no difference or changes or anything. Hey, I have to go for a while, if you want to talk some other time I'll hopefully be on, but just send me a message. :) K bye
