“Oh my god!” I jumped out of my car. I knew what I had hit, but I needed the verification. I ran over to the body laying on the ground. He’s moving. I got to get out of here quick. I sprint back to my car and jump in the driver’s seat . My car still wreaks of the whiskey that spilt on my seat. With my hands shacking I try to put the keys in the ignition. Ha Ha got it. I just need to focus now. No need to worry. He didn’t get my plates. He’s probably unconscious. I just need to make it home as quick as possible. The lights flash by as I look down at my speedometer creeping it’s way all the way to the other side. I reach down for another swig of whiskey. Grab the bottle and throw a gulp down. Whoa the car swerves quickly to the left towards oncoming traffic. I can’t see a thing with the headlights blinding my eyes. I throw the wheel back to the right and take another swig for safety. My songs on. The horns start up and I turn the dial till it won’t go up anymore. I roll my windows down and light up my cigarette.
“And it burns, burns, burns the ring of fire’ yells the radio at me as I exhale my smoke. I can’t help but to laugh as I swerve in and out of the traffic in front of me honking as I come inches from swiping out the hoods of their cars. This is the most fun I’ve had since I was a kid. What would my wife think of me now. To think she left me yesterday because I don’t know how to have fun. Now I can’t think of anything more quality entertainment than this. To think of how mad she’ll be when she gets her car back with the dent on the hood. No doubt the police will come looking at my house first for it. I have this whole plan all thought out. Genius work on my part. I’m gong to ditch it down the back alleyway on baker street and run down to main street to pick up a cab home, but not before I have a little fun first. I mean how often can you drive recklessly with no repercussions. Not my plates not my problem. No cop is going to come knocking on my door.
“In more recent news a body was found on the side of the road near Penn Station on the corner of Clifton and Burty police are looking for a suspect driving believed to be driving a white Chevy Malibu”.
