She was fast, hot, and commanded everyone’s attention. We had been together ten years.

The day the accident occurred, I lost my leg and was left by the roadside inconsolable.

Hobbling, I visited Candy Red at the repair shop to find her painted an awful shade of orange. I died!


I hope you enjoyed this 50-word short story that I created using the prompt for this week “shade” created by @jayna in the #fiftywords writing challenge.

The most impressive thing about your story was that you lost your leg. Receive a warm hug @pyemoney

Thank you, @felixgarciap for the kind feedback.

In the 70’s, every young man wanted a candy apple red sports car. 😊

Mixed feeling here. It makes you sad and then it makes laugh (sort of). Great story

Great story, @pyemoney. (I'm assuming it is not auto-biographical!)

I love the treatment of the car as a character, a "she." Very clever.

Thank you, @jayna. Correct. It is not an autobiography.
