SteemShort #2 - Post 1: Request for First Part of the Story
UPDATE: The author for the first part of SteemShort #2 has been chosen (2017-Dec-27)
The summary with the most upvotes (57) has been written by @sistem.
Congratulations, @sistem
Here is the summary:
It was a rainy day and Mrs Kenny couldn’t get enough of the nagging, “are you listening to what I am saying?”, she asked Mr Kenny, but he greeted her with silence as he was trying to concentrate on the road to avoid mishap. Mrs Kenny wasn’t having any of that as she stretched towards the steering but was met with a resounding slap from Mr Kenny.
Earlier that day, Mr and Mrs Kenny had woken up in a very high spirit as it was the 25th of December and were both happy for having seen yet another Christmas. They both hurriedly said their morning prayers and Mrs Kenny ran to the other room to wake Cindy who happened to be the only daughter born to Mr and Mrs Kenny. They had their bath, ate and prepared for church and at exactly 8:00 CAT they made to leave for church when Mr Kenny received a text message on his Phone but unfortunately the phone was with Mrs Kenny.
“You slapped me”, She said and in a bid to retaliate, the car skid off the road and ran into a ditch by the road side.
