A thousand miles per second
The car travels in a constant speed creating a cumulus cloud of smoke behind. From inside the speedy vehicle, you can see nothing outside but distorted lights painted on a black canvass. I do not mind it at all, until it starts to accelerate and speed up into an amount that is almost like the speed of light. I am traveling very fast and I cannot help but to feel very scared. So I take my hands off the steering wheel and grasp my seatbelt very tightly. But my legs are shaking and sweating so I lift them up from the pedals and take my knees up on my face. I sit in that position for a few minutes until I realize that no one’s controlling the car anymore and it is no longer driving very fast. I open my eyes and saw that everything is still distorted outside except for the bright moon that is clearly seen from the windshield. It is growing bigger and bigger. No, I am going closer to it. I am being pulled by the moon like the tide. And then I realize that life is full of stupid metaphors and I should stop over-analyzing things.
A few weeks before summer vacation. I do not know where my life is going to lead me.
