Wendy! I felt the same way! Things are a little better with the "Touchless" car washes...but I used to irk my dad with my hysteria over long "arms" slapping suds at our car. It was petrifying! (I still don't take my car...that's something I delegate!)

I agree. It gets a hand wash with hose and bucket by me, more often than not. I dread going to a car wash, but it is quicker and probably a better wash, but I do hate and have a great fear of getting stuck in there. Thanks for your fun review.

I'm with you on the old hose and bucket... No need to enter the car wash of doom!
Comment from LJbutterfly
Haha! This story reminded me of the time I was taking my sister home from church. Her car was in the shop. I stopped at an automatic carwash, which she had never been through before. Your story described her exactly. She was terrified. Your description of the sounds is perfect. Great story.

Comment from Cecilia Lynne1
Very impressive and supportive artwork. The facial expression capture in the art says it all. The story line is clear and paints an exciting written picture for your readers. It appears to meet the requirements of the contest count of 80 words. It exhibits humour and you have stated that some of it is based on facts as well as fiction. The title "The Escape" is appropriate. Well done and all the best to you.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
I fear those drive through car washes. There is no telling what would happen to me and my vehicle, and the building, if I were to go in one. I rather have a dirty car then go into one of those places. I enjoyed reading this poem. And I like the picture.

You are welcome.
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Having your car washed is a frightening experience. To sit calmly in a car and not feel some of the (swish-swash) actions of the water and brushes on the windows could definitely bring a catastrophic effect for sure.

Yes, so right. Thanks so much for reviewing. Greatly appreciated!
Comment from Mia Twysted
Those things can be pretty loud and once you get in you are stuck waiting for it all to be over. I often think about the things that could go down while you are inside the car.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
The writing of this story is of an excellent quality, except I find it slightly verbiose. I think perhaps the subject would have been more suited to a dribble Flash.

You got me at the end there. I thought it was going in a different direction. When reading it a second time I could see what was written fit the end result. I thought it was clever.

Thank you for reviewing. As you gave four stars, I am wondering if you have suggestions for improvement?
-
Improvement only comes when one continues to practice. You did do really well with it though and I did enjoy it. The 4 stars just felt right for me to give.
Comment from Kim Kinakin Tuckey
I can relate to this story. I always found the car wash fun but my Mom found it very claustrophobic. Great job summarizing those feelings. Good luck in the contest.

Automatic car washes are scary enough when you don't suffer from claustrophobia. This was a cute little story in 80 words. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes.
