Haha, this is maniacally funny. I can just imagine the dad’s tone.

crazy people

That’s freaking awesome.

Hmm, but how will being tied to the hood help them find a watch? Very silly. I liked the Gorgon comment. There aren’t enough stories with Gorgons, I think.

Well, if the kid looks down over the front of the car, he’ll “hypothetically” see it if they’re driving slowly enough over an area. There’s more to it…but 1024 characters only allows so much…

What a great opener – I don’t know that I’ve ever read a ‘first sentence’ that made me want to read more. I think it’s especially challenging to be tied to the hood of a car and asked to help find a watch. Kinda like a cop asking a drunk driver to recite the alphabet backwards! The guy was screwed from the get-go. Excellent work!

i like your stories. you are a very good writer. i agree with yoda. that was a very good opening sentence

Okay son, here’s the deal. We’re going to tie you to the hood of the car and you’re going to look for daddy’s watch
The kid would be better off wandering the forest, eating the gingerbread house from one of your other stories.
I have to rate it so low because of the image it created. Fictional children can’t get hurt, but still . . .
