Another Summer Night Party at Gatsby's?

By: Jessica Biggs

Last night was just another fabulous party at Jay Gatsby’s. The food, as expected, was divine. The music, perfect. But the night ended with a crash. Crowds gathered not 50 feet from Gatsby’s front doors to see the scene. People were greeted with the sight of a new coupe crashed deep in a ditch, a tire lying 20 feet away. Two men, neither harmed, were reported to be in the car. The first, a confused passenger who didn’t know how the accident happened. The driver apparently had some fun at the party, a little too much fun, perhaps, at the bar. It was reported that the drunk man stepped unsteadily out of the car, dazed and in awe at the sight of the mangled car. He asked where the nearest gas station was, apparently under the impression that the coupe needed a tank of gas to begin going again. It wasn’t until a bystander pointed out the missing tire that the man came up with the brilliant idea of just “backing the car out.” It took nearly 20 minutes for nearby chauffeurs to coax the man to sit and drink a glass of water and to rethink his plan for the car. After the delay, Gatsby was seen on his front porch, waving gaily at his leaving guests.
