Sweet Chariot

You are on the road. It winds up along the mountain side. Beside you is your girlfriend. You've not had a proper conversation since you bullied her onto this trip. This is it, you think, last chance or you are out.

A slow blink. A moment of inattentiveness. You do not see the turn.

You are off the road. A tire pops as you careen down the slope. A pebble shatters the windshield. A stone scores along the flank. Your foot is stuck behind the brake. A veil of dust blows across you as the car crashes to a devastating halt.

Behind you is a yellow car. He has come to pick you up.
