What a ride!

"Come on. I'll take you for a ride." My cousin told me, as he put turned on the motorcycle.

"N-no thanks." I stammered. "Motorcycles scare the sh#t out of me."

"Come on. It's a ton of fun." He said passing me the padded jacket and the black bulky helmet.

"You guys are insane!" I said sliding the helmet over my head. "The things you make me do..."

I hopped onto the back seat hugging him with all my strength.

"You know you could squeeze me but let me breath once in a while okay."

I laughed nervously as he took off slowly into the street. As the time passed I slowly began to get used to the rocking and the tilting and the slowly increasing speed. As we rolled onto the highway he hit the gas and we were soaring through the cars.

It was so relieving. All you thought of was that moment, that feeling, that sense of freedom... no worries, no stress, just you and the black pavement beneath you.

Thanks cuz'

You're the best!
