2 Might Enter! 1 Will Win!

I'm working on my cheesy choose-your-own adventure project again. It's silly, but I'm having fun with it.

Here's where the competition comes in -

FictionInteractive's Name That Yarn Contest!

You guys submit candidates for the title of the story, and I'll choose the best one. The winner gets a credit on the web site and bragging rights for all eternity. Me? I get a good title - cause let's face it, you folks are a lot cleverererer than I am.

Here's the story, a simple and straightforward plot - A woman is on her way to work in her luxury car when she's carjacked at a turnpike tollbooth and has to fight off the assailants, who are trying to force her to drive home so they can molest it and pilfer her. Wait, no... Well, you get the idea.

All right! Hit me with your entries. Extra points for wit, cleverness and frolicsome pertness.

    I LOVE those type stories...and you're brave to try writing one because they are bloody hard to do. It's like a dozen stories wrapped into one.

    Anyway, How about
    "Driving the OTHER Miss Daisy"?

    or

    Carrie Trotter : The Prius of Fear.

    Ummm, it's so much easier to be a smartass than to actually think of a genuine title. How about something simple like "Turnpike"?

  3. Aren't Choose Your Own Adventures supposed to be for kids? This sounds a little adult-themed.

    If you decide to torture your screaming, pleading victim with the pliers, turn to page 34. If you decide to use the box cutter, turn to page 42.

    I think you should call it "The Phantom Tollbooth... of Death!"

    Um, they need to mean something?

    That wasn't in the contest description. Not even the fine print.

    But, honestly, I was kindof thinking, well, maybe, D-I-E.
