Drunken Mistake

Look! It’s just outside. What do you see?  I see smoke, fire, and death.  Three innocent victims were driving on their way do their own thing.  The driver, a beautiful young women and a mother of two girls, was driving to see her beloved husband and meet him for dinner.  One of the daughters, only sixteen, was on her way to her first date with her boyfriend. What a surprise he got that night.  The other one, so little and precious didn't’t deserve it at all.  She was only 6 months old going with her mommy to meat her daddy for dinner that night.  Here they were, all young and faithful, on a clear, perfect night meeting with death instead of going to see their father or boyfriend that night.  Hit head on by a drunk driver on a straight road.  Brutal wreck and mangled carnage was scattered across the road.  The driver got off work early and went for a few beers before heading to the place he was supposed to be but to his surprise their on the road was another car that was in his way.  The drunk driver of this was on his way to a date with his wife.  He was a father of two and a loving husband to say the least.  He didn't’t think before drank and drove. Now look at him in prison for life with the thought on his mind, “How could I of done this? How could this happen to me?”  He had the rest of his life to think about that while locked in a cage fit for an animal.  One last though would cross his mind every night before he went to sleep, “How could I be so reckless? I knew better then to do that but I still did.  I still did and look what happened to me. I was in a wreck and killed my family.”

    this was a great story and i think the topic at hand would put anyone in a depression state but i was sort of looking for a hands on form rather than in the way you described her but a good story and you may want to fix this part>>>One last though >>> to one last thought. good luck in the contest
