Fast Lane: Intro
Well this is my first story ever. Heres the intro so let me know what you all think, and what I might need to improve on. Thanks for your input.
Fast Lane: Intro
The blow-off valves screamed as the Skyline downshifted and slid through the turn. "I just have to stay ahead. I put everything on this race" the dragon said to himself. He shifted back to 5th, slowly pulling away from the Ferrari 360 spyder. Flying through traffic he kept pulling away. Downshifting again he slid through the next corner. Quickly he slammed right to avoid the wall of traffic coming up. "Just a few more corners and I'll be home free." turn after turn the dragon watched the Ferrari disappear from his rearview. "Home stretch baby! Finish line in one mile!" he yelled excitedly. Weaving through traffic, he could see the crowd waiting to see who would win. Out of nowhere the Ferrari pulled up beside him. "Damn that thing is fast! Not as fast as me..." He said as he dropped a gear and pulled ahead, this was going to be close. The other driver suddenly backed off, there was no way he could lose! The race was in the bag, the $100,000 in prize money was going to bring him out of debt and into the good life. Suddenly a blaring horn and screeching tires filled the dragon's senses. There was a loud crunch as the passenger door was crushed by a pickup truck. The shattered glass hitting him in the face as he screamed. He could only go along for the ride as his car left the ground. It flipped sideways through the air and landed on its roof as the young dragon felt only pain as he saw the Spyder cross the finish line and his world faded to black.
Groaning as he woke up he tried to figure out where he was. "That smell... Rubbing alcohol, oh fuck I'm in the hospital" he said. "Oh good you're finally awake" the nurse said. She was a cute skunk, about 5'3", she looked to be in her mid 20's. "You got lucky kid, some seatbelt bruising and a few minor cuts from the shattered glass. Most people would have been killed after a wreck like that." "Where's my car?" he asked as he climbed off the crappy hospital bed. "It was totalled in the accident... Typical male, defy death and you're worried about your car." The skunk said as she walked away. As fast as he could he went through all the required tests and checked out of the hospital. Pulling out a cellphone the dragon called his friend. "Jimmy I need a ride to the garage. The R34 is totalled. I lost the race." "Fuck man what happened?" "i was hit by a pickup and sent flying. The thing is the light had been green for a minute, so I figure this was no accident." "Thats crazy bro. We'll find the guys that tried to kill you but for now I'm on the way" "Thanks Jimmy" he said as he hung up and waited for his ride. It was going to be a long fucking day...
By the way I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Draco, I know its a bit cliche but I like it. I'm the fucked up dragon waiting for my best friend to pick me up. Jimmy is a cool guy, the stallion has always had my back I'm now in one hell of a rough patch though, I hope we can make it out of this one alive. You see I needed that money to pay off the car i just totalled. Guess I'll just have to find another way. Got lucky though, no cop trouble. At least I don't have to face that today. Now, at this point I bet a lot of you are wondering why a young guy like me is in this mess rather than in college or something like that. I'll tell you why, its the speed, the rush, its an addiction like no other. The faster I go the better I feel, watching the needle climb passed 100mph is pure ecstasy. Once I crack 100 nothing can touch me. I live a life fueled by gasoline, adrenaline, deceit, and high stakes. This is my story.
