the world is mine

you see cars, but you don't really see the cars. all you see is obstacles in front of you, like lego blocks. you know you're driving fast, but you don't look down to see how fast. what's the point in that?

you see the gaps between the blocks, and you decide which gaps lead to the exit of this maze. you choose one, and you downshift. the assault begins. you feel the increase in the engine rev, and you rev it even higher as you step on the gas. you swing over to the empty lane, attacking. in a second or two, the assault's over. you change to a higher gear and ease up on the engine.

your heart's running wild, you feel the adrenline rush. you feel calm and in control. you feel like you can take on the world.

then you remember the gas prices and how that stunt just cost your whole tank's mileage.
