Kathrine was a nice car. Silver metallic, reminiscent of the old supercars of the 1990's only with a higher clearance. One of the very useful features of this car was that it had a 'foldablility' about it. The chassis was made to change. It was as if, parts folded in and other folded out with a not quite liquidness about it. It morphed mostly into something a little more convenient for off road purposes such as a land rover. They have greatly changed over the years, more fluid, more dynamic but still, even with dynamic suspension(previously banned as poisonous and unsafe), it was still one of the most reliable cars on the planet. I must admit however, that the 6 wheel model might have been a little over the top but then if it sold...1
Kathrine was an old army model, rejected as frivolous and unused, Edwards uncle took her away from it all - yes it is a her - and had her kept in his garage. She quite liked the idea of children but was bamboozled by the amount of pain it was to have them. She couldn't understand why someone would go through that, just to get a child. Edward's uncle couldn't quite believe it either. Still, he was a happily married man, was until his wife was taken away in one of the early quantum accidents. They both worked in the secret side of the army. When she died, some of her attributes were taken into Kathrine. Maybe that's why he liked him so much. Maybe that's why Ed's mother hated her so much. Called her an 'it' at every opportunity. Filthy little... I should be more respectful but all she seemed to do was make fun of Kathrine. Now shes dead though. Well we think. I think. There was a lot of taboo about it at the time. I will now hand you over to the previous story-teller as I appear to be divulging.2
After the discussion, an alliance quickly formed, one to find out what was going on with his 'dear uncle' as Kathrine put it. Funny thing for a car to say, in this day and age, emotional robots had gone out of fashion a long while ago, too many 'non-real people', too many surfing the Internet, day and night. Kathrine wasn't authorised for quantum travel so didn't tend to divulge in it much. It hadn't occurred to Edward until now, what was the light? He'd seen it before, when he was young, when he went to visit his uncle at work. He couldn't remember much, just two bright circular sources, one brighter than the other, but neither dimmer than one another. Just kind of smaller.3
As they set off to her house, Ed asked about these sources. Kathrine was a little reluctant to say anything but when she did she swore blind she knew nothing. The road there was a little bumpy but then, he wasn't sure it was a road. 'Bends are for adults, and adults don't know a thing' was written in a very nice font on the side of the windscreen, in between the main windscreen and the front window from which Ed could lean out, on the right side. slightly slanted with a white fine pen, probably a fountain pen or equivalent. This is where he learnt of his sisters fate.4

Thanks for your comment. As for the spelling and gramatical errors, I was wrong there. The term divulge is for something your not supposed to tell and the observer telling that part of the story was to describe the car, nothing else. Semi-colons would be a good idea. Thank you again.

ok....ummm...youve taken the e off the first "one" in the story and stuck it on the end of the second "car" (or third if you count "supercars") then "maybe thats why he liked him so much" re: katherine and edwards uncle ....then you appear to be divulging what??? divulging kind of means revealing, you divulge secrets. "i am not at liberty to divulge that" etc...after what discussion???.....divulge! again in the wrong context!!!.....and you might wanna stick some colons in the sentance after that...break it up a bit....he has a sister
sorry im just being critical
