I charged off
down the road.
    The
world continued to spin as I zipped past traffic and out onto the
freeway, taking the quick coastal road to avoid traffic. Ah
great, roadworks.
    I was thankful for my bike, letting me
skip past the waiting cars, all honking their horns, their drivers
sitting impatiently behind their wheels. Not something you wanna be
doing on a warm Saturday, the beaches and national parks awaiting the
many families cooped up in their tin shells. I'd never owned a car
and never wanted one; my bike and I were born to be together.
    I swerved this way and that, cutting
cars off here and there. They'd shout and honk their horns, but I
didn't care. In fact, I kind liked the attention.
    My
head was still pounding. Never
again. Sure, I'll believe that when I see it.
    It didn't go on long though, the
traffic. Within a few minutes I was escaping on the other side, my
bike set free from its shackles, able to stretch its legs. I headed
for the fast lane, shooting my way up the highway, checking out any
hot girls in their convertibles as I went. I always got a lot of
attention on my bike. I guess the girls liked it, that bad boy image.
    A few other cars were cruising along at
speed. I always noticed that; how cars would often go faster after
roadworks to make up time. There was one that stuck out though: a
simple station wagon among the sports cars and land cruisers. I
laughed in my head as I saw the driver from behind: a middle aged
woman, hunched up in her seat, clutching tightly on the steering
wheel.
    She looked to have a younger girl
beside her, daughter maybe. Time to check her out.
    I
zipped my bike up and around the passenger side of the car, slowly
catching up and peering in to get a better look. I recognized the
face as soon as I approached: it was Grace, that girl from the double
date with Brad. Must have been 5 months ago now. Damn
she's looking hot.
    I
saw her turn towards me, looking at me inquisitively. She couldn't
see me though, not under my helmet. I
wonder if she'd remember me if she could? I
wonder where she's going?
    I dropped back after a few moments,
letting off the gas and gliding slowly in behind them.
    Oh fuck!
    A car was approaching behind them as I
pulled back, having to swerve slightly to accommodate me as I moved
in behind Grace's car. The car moved to the left, hitting the back
left side of Grace's car with a thud.
    The car started lurching from side to
side, the driver trying to keep control by turning into their
momentum. She braked as I slowed behind them, not quite knowing where
to go and, suddenly, out of nowhere, the car turned, twisting ninety
degrees and flipping over onto its side, barrel rolling across the
highway as glass shattered everywhere and sparks flew.
    Shit, what the hell have I done!
    The car carried on spinning violently
across the road, rotating a couple of times before settling down on
its back and sliding another ten or so meters along the tarmac. I
looked in my rearview mirror to see cars screeching to a halt behind
me, several of them crashing into each other to avoid the crash
ahead.
    My bike came to a stop alongside the
wreckage as I jumped off and scrambled towards the car. I paced
straight round to the passengers side and dropped to the floor,
cutting my hands on broken glass as I crawled.
    I saw Grace, dangling from her strap, a
gash to the side of her head dripping blood, cuts all over her pretty
face. I clambered into the wreckage without thinking, reaching up to
support her head as I tried to release the strap. It clicked and her
bodyweight slumped into my arms, the blood streaming from her head
onto my sleeve.
    I heard a clamouring behind me as
people gathered to help, indecipherable noise amid the chaos. I
smelled gasoline and looked to see the back of the car dripping, the
coiled wreckage spewing up its fuel.
    I need to get her out.
    Hands and faces appeared at the door,
reaching in to help. I twisted my body inside the tomb of twisted
metal and pulled
