    So anyway, let’s say you have a story and one minute of the story the character is driving peacefully to get to Walmart, but 60 seconds later she is in her Tesla completely submerged making a phone call. Maybe searching what to do via Goo… duck duck go. Wouldn’t it be interesting for the reader to know a little bit more about the story?

    For example, what was she wearing? Was her mechanic’s name Frank or Dave? Was the water cold? What did she need at Walmart anyway?

    Forget about the part of how the car actually made it into the water. What about the part where it started sinking? Did it sink slowly? Nose first? Did she know that the sand on your shoes could fracture the glass if it had hard enough material? Again, let’s not even talk about how the Tesla went from the road to underwater… pretty obvious…a gigantic alien picked it up and tossed it in the water.
