Sacha Black challenges us to write something using the word ‘choke’ using just 52 words (no more, no less).
Choke – by Hugh W. Roberts
Olive Mackeson had died choking on a cheese and sweet pickle sandwich, shortly after pulling out the choke on the dashboard of her car, as her foot slipped off the clutch, forcing the car into the path of an oncoming truck.
Registration number of the car – K, one, one, L, M, E

I’m not sure what the choke of the car is, but here where I live you can get a traffic ticket for eating while driving, so that what happened to poor Olive wouldn’t happen. Brilliant use of the prompt word.
Thanks, Vashti. The same here in the U.K. You can be prosecuted for eating while driving a car. Even if waiting for the lights to turn green and with your car at a standstill, you can be prosecuted if caught eating, reading, or holding a mobile phone.
Brilliant Hugh!!
Thanks, Willow.

Very clever! Hi, I’m Kate and I’m coming from a blog party at which your blog was recommended by DG Kaye as a good one to check out! Nice job on the prompt. Do you get bonus points for using “choke” twice? :)
Hi, Kate. Thanks so much for coming over from the Blog party you were at. I’ll certainly thank Debby for recommending my blog.
I’m not so sure about getting any bonus points for using two different variations of the prompt word but I enjoyed doing the challenge. The vehicle choke was the first thing I thought about when I saw the prompt.
Brilliant Hugh. You’ve managed to use the prompt twice with 2 different meanings too. And love that licence plate! :) <3
Thanks, Debby. The choke in a vehicle was the first thing that came to me when I saw the prompt word, so I wanted to use it. Then I threw in the other ‘choke’ at the beginning. I’ve a true story about that licence plate. I will tell you about it when I see you at the Bash. 😀
