Succinctly Yours is a weekly meme by grandma. Of this meme she says:
How low can you go?
Use the photo as inspiration for a story of 140 characters OR 140 words. It doesn’t have to be exactly 140, just not more. This one is 137 characters. This time I even managed to use the challenge word: glisten
The storm turned the road into a glistening mess. I studied the accident up ahead, and decided to turn left to avoid it. Might be faster.

When it comes to glistening messes, I always draw upon those timeless words to the wise: The helmetto: it’s an easy choice.
Ennjoyed your microfictiony take!

thanks and yeah, helmets would prevent injuries!
Avoiding accident sites is always a good idea. I don’t understand people who drive by them and gawk.
Well done.

Yeah, I always go past myself.
Very wise – and usually much faster.
yep! thanks
A good decision there.
yeah I think so!
I saw those vehicles in the distance and wondered what they were. You figured it out!
guess I did! LOL
Clever use of the photo! I avoid driving by accidents! I find them sickening!
me too, thanks, gemma!
Oh I wonder what the accident was? I think that was a great little story!
at a guess, probably someone skidded and crashed into someone.
Nice use of the word “glisten” and insight into his character, too. He’s not a rubbernecker!
certainly not! thanks lisa
What a wise person!
thanks!
Now there is a motorcyclist who doesn[t take risks…good for him…Safety First! Good one.
always! thanks for stopping by pat
Smart decision 🙂
A clever take on the prompt, indeed! Well done…:)
I can never use the word of the week… This was a very real take on this week’s photo.
Good catch. I saw the vehicles, but didn’t discern that it was an accident. I’m really enjoying the variety of takes on this photo.
