Today I decided I’d write an alternative ending to my contest entry into

SURVEY

Tales Shown, Not Told Contest  (E) A short story contest from the Crosstimbers Author Association. #2300358 by Max Griffin 🏳️‍🌈

I’m going to read both endings out to my Wednesday group of lady writers for their opinions. I actually like both of my endings of this story so I’m feeling conflicted.
This morning I spent making cakes for tomorrow’s singing group. Although there is satisfaction in seeing the finished product, my preference would have been to sit and write.
The house is full of the smell of baking, which is rather nice. I rarely bake these days as there is just the two of us now and we truly can do without eating cakes and slices.
My husband has just returned from his annual driving health assessment. He’s just given me the thumbs up, so he must have passed with flying colours.
On attaining the age of eighty it is mandatory to have this every year. The test includes mental acuity, ECG, and sight and hearing. My neighbour is 93 and still drives, although I’ve never been a passenger in her car so I’m unsure of how competent she is. At eighty-one I still like to drive but not at night. I suppose it’s a good thing we oldies get tested but those yearly test come around too quickly for my liking!
