Her late transatlantic flight exhausted her, but she was excited to be here finally.
Everything was new. Everyone friendly, even the cab driver taking her to her hotel.

Ok guys, I admit I didnt do quite a right job but at least I thought it was transparent enough. And Chetan, I had n idea that u r a sweet person but seems u r equally innocent.
Of course it wasnt n accident.Yes rocksea , it is based on a true incident. happens-everywhere.So what happened exactly? Wel let me have ur guesses. Let me see if n e one can think as twistdly as me(not a great issue,I know,jus a curiosity) should i announce a prize too? Kidding.

Well , i think the plot was quiet neatly presented , if you make it more obvious , it won’t be called a story but a news .. so in that context , i feel the story is powerfull and well written ..

you are right , i should have guessed when car was stopped, and not crashed.
i now think that, it’s brilliantly written, making the best use of 55 words,
and THANKS for calling me a sweet person
I hope that you will write more of this type

i feel responses to 55 fiction should be in 5 words….the story presented is ‘thriller, eye opener, topical, realistic’
