Time Trial

by Ari Collins


Jutting her hip, Sheila raised the checkered flag. "Gentlemen, first to Anno Domini wins."

Speedy Marie rumbled beneath me. I stroked her chassis. "Shhh... no jealousy, now. Sheila can't match your speed, baby." She purred, satisfied.

The flag flew down and I twisted Marie's throttle, sending us lurching around the corner and into last week.

Inspired by the Frank Black song "Speedy Marie": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68UP1kzcZyU

Although who knows what Frank is actually singing about.

It is stuff like this that made me originally join 50wordstory on Livejournal. This is awesome.

Sometimes being when it's done well. Or by me.
