The speedometer needle is pegged at 100. I am driving by pure instinct at this point. The cars barely register in my mind before I am pulling past them, sliding through traffic like a fish through seaweed. "WaaaaAAAAaaaaaiiiillll" My eyes dart to the rearview. A blue flash hits my retinas at the same time the adrenaline hits my brain.
I jerk the wheel to the right, and the tires screech as the car jumps off the highway and onto a dirt path. The path turns to the right, between two lines of trees. I check the rearview again, and through the cloud of dust I see two cop cars gaining on me. I press the accelerator, ignoring the rattling of the car from the rough road.
I brake and pull the wheel hard to the left as the path turns past the end of the trees. A sea of blue lights greets me. Police cruisers are blocking any possible getaway. What the Hell do I do? I slam on the brakes. Time to face the music.
My eyes pop open. Whew, only a dream. My room is black. I am tired, but I'm not sure I'll be able to fall back asleep easily.
