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.

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

      Yes. It's frightening how much of a difference it can make.

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

      Thanks Rohit. Pretty sure the character would have learnt his/her lesson.
