Sparks
by Jeffrey aka JJ Spain
with illustration by Wayfarer
He leaned hard right into the curve, pushing his hands down while keeping his head erect, doing 55 mph in a 35. He tried his best to force sparks to ignite from his exhaust pipes against the concrete on Highway 14 A, Boulder Canyon to Deadwood, SD. The Michelin tires held tight as the next curve approached. He rolled the throttle on, pushing to 70 mph on the last notorious bend before the straightaway. Sparks flew!
Yelling in exhilaration, he threw a fist in the air.
Glancing in his rearview mirror, red and blue flashing lights came into view.
Totally worth it.
