Highway Rider

Bike.
Buzzed on beer.
Buttons black leather jacket.

Speed.
Stargazing.
Shedding all inhibitions.

Slow.
Succumbing
Steadily to alcohol.

Swerve!
Split-second.
Suddenly thrown into air.

Blood.
Broken bones.
Barely alive at nineteen.

  1. That must hurt, because not only are there bones broken but there's also the deep bruising and awful friction burns too.
    Vivid imagery.

  3. Sad ending; you got to teach the character a thing or two about safe driving. Nice read.
