Writing Challenge: Continue the Story

The morning is so gloomy, and he is in a deep sleep. He wakes up when the sun shines right above the head. Finding his wife and his daughter no more around him, he recalls everything happened all of a sudden yesterday. He closes his eyes for a few minutes more. Afterwards, he gets up, throws on his only black jacket, takes the car key, and hits the road. Crazily thinking of committing suicide, on a highway, he very fast drives his car. From afar, he vaguely sees a girl smiling, asking for hitching a ride. Though he is hurrying to his best friend's house, he gives her a ride in his car because she is so beautiful.

They have a conversation in his car untill they arrive at her destination. While he is talking with her, he is recalling what happened yesterday. He knew that his wife had affairs with his best friend for some years, and she had gone to his best friend's house with his daughter. This fact makes him very sad because this is not only his wife's betrayal but also his best friend's betrayal.

"I am traveling around the world," the girl says. In that moment, he thinks he will tell her that he wants to travel around the world with her, but soon he thinks it is impossible. After he drops her off at her destination, he heads for his best friend's house, wondering what he should do.

When he arrives at his friend's house, the friend invites him in. They talk it out for some hours, and his wife and his best friend tell him how much they love each other. He can't say anything after hearing that. Then, he leaves his best friend's house and goes home alone. His heart is broken and he commits suicide.

After a few days, his wife and his best friend find out about his suicide. It is needless to say that they have been racked by a guilty feeling ever since.

    This is so sad story, those kind of betrayal has deeply devastating consequences often.

    And also I wanted to say, omg, omg, actually I thought of writing something similar and then I read your post, I’ll do it anyway.

  • :o How sad this story is, Tam

    He should have been courageous to talk to that girl. How soon he committed suicide. :(( Anyway, I think this also happens in real world. Betrayal of one's spouse with the close friend is hurting. I hope it will not happen to everyone here. ^^

    Thank you so much for being the first participant, Tam. Interesting continuation! I just wonder how he died. Have a good day! :)
