RE: [Fiftywords] "Pursue That Car!" (Micro fiction.)
Ah, I don't know when to use which so can you explain?
One little suggestion: change "Pursuit" to "Pursue," as you want the action verb form of the word in this case.
And thanks for reading and commenting, I tried to hint more at the conflict but the result is good enough I guess.
Good question. "Pursuit" is a noun, which is a thing, like a bird or a house or bus stop. For your story title you need a verb, which describes an action. You can tell someone to "pursue that car." But you wouldn't say "pursuit that car." Here is an example of a sentence that correctly uses the word pursuit: "The police were in pursuit for miles, but could not catch the suspect."
Thank you very much, it's clear now!
