Night driving at 1 am.

Jan 30, 2009 22:19

We were sitting at the intersection when that car came barreling straight at us, the two headlights like some ghostly juggernaut. Have you ever seen a Great White shark chase down its prey? Impenetrable. How many seconds until impact? 3? 2? At that last moment, I mean truly, the very last instant, the lights so close they nearly disappeared and became obscured by our hood, the aggressor’s car tires screeched and the car cut over to the left. I glanced over at my friend, and he was just completely and utterly petrified. Even though it felt like my heart turned to ice, then flashed like fire all at once, I had to fight back that urge to laugh. That sheer look of terror on his face, coupled with the fact that I was still alive and untouched, was pure joy.

All for a box of chalky and unpleasant candy hearts.
