My New Bike

Dead old lady or not, if you are late your mom will be wicked pissed. That's what ambulances are for anyway, right? And what was she doing on the sidewalk in the first place? Jeez. That's like asking for something like this to happen! You're a victim of circumstances.

You pedal on down the street until the sidewalk ends and you soon notice the sudden increase in the speed of the passing traffic. You stop pedaling and look up at a green sign that lists a few upcoming exits.

You are on the highway. You look back the way you came as a semi flies by and blares it's horn at you. You look ahead down the freeway. You know that your mom took the highway to get to the bike shop, but you're not sure how safe it is to take the highway home.

There has to be another way home. Maybe you should go back...
