The Speeder


Fascination of speed, the rush to penetrate and distort the steady stream of movement.  The vigor to overpass another being, shattering limitations of status and race.  The magnificence to roam free within your own fortress.  The ability and power to jumpstart emotions of complete strangers, articulations through lights dominated on your own demand.  To pilot your battleship into any harbor, dodging bullets exiting small minds that cannot comprehend.  The relentless pursuit to gain momentum just to have another soul disappear on the horizon of your mirror, a soul who has failed to make the vital connection between the posted limit and the numbers displayed on their dashboard.  The annoyance of the indecisive, slouched over behind their wheel, blocking the endless flow of traffic.  Breakneck calculations of risk and assumptions of behavior occupying the senses as a constant, a sporadic brutal scare caused by oversight jolting your body.  The critical monitoring of your surroundings, strategizing the next move, always ahead of the game.  The excitement of meeting a worthy opponent, a rival who mastered the art of speed.  The ruthless contest fought on the battlegrounds of your mind, your high-tech weapon, like searching steel slicing a passage through the riff-raff, imposing your own interpretations of law and order.
The search for that magic opening in traffic, to repose from the race for a quick moment, rejuvenating.  Just to begin another quest to arrive at your destination ahead of yourself, simply to enhance your joy of driving...

Wow!  This was great!  I started off a little apprensive, but quickly found myself pulled into the breakneck race.  Exhilirating, much enjoyed!

Hello Fellow New member!  Great Story, it was extreamly detailed, which makes it very easy to imagain and I found myself sitting on the sidelines watching the Race!  Great job!

Ah Cristopher, a worthy opponent, one that mastered the art of speeding.  We should duell it out someday out there on the battlegrounds of small minds...
