Biography: Night Driving
I once had a friend that was had a blindness when night driving. After dinner, they asked one of us to drive us all back home. Apparently, they claimed to be blind when night driving. Unfortunately, we didn't believe them, and we made them drive. They went to make a turn, and they told me they took a mental note that they usually turn too wide. So in this instance, they intentionally made a sharper angle for the left turn. Unfortunately, there was a median, so they needed to take it wider. We immediately are looking at oncoming traffic, and my friend swerves right and hits a street sign in the median. That's was the last time we made them drive at night!

Microfiction: A Nightmare
Six-word: He couldn't swim. Luckily, he awoke.
Hint fiction: He tried to stay afloat but couldn't tread water any longer. He sank and drowned. He awoke flustered but thankful it was only a dream.
Note: I wanted to contrast two ways to tell a story about a drowning nightmare. Fortunately it was only just a dream in the end. Or was it?

Note: I told a story about an old gambler. He loved what he had in life, but he loved gambling more. It was his fatal flaw, and he made a fool of himself and his life because of it.
