The lurch of your stomach as speed increases
Air rushing by faster and faster
Leaning to the side as it turns
Flying around corners like the end of a whip as it cracks
Looking behind you, to the side of you
Seeing nothing but smiling faces
Your friends sitting beside you
It speeds up again
The night sky whizzing by above you
Stars, meteors, galaxies
None can keep up with you
You are young, youthful, immortal
What can hurt you? Nothing.
You are life infinite.
You look again and you see your friends
Laughing, joking, smiling
All of you destined for something, greatness even
Your lives ahead of you
Your pasts behind you
As you speed up into the black expansive night
What can hurt you? Something.
You are life
But life can be taken, ended, cut short
You hear a buzz
You take the string of your life in your hands like the Fates
You reach down for the source of the noise disturbing the thrill ride
You pull the your string of life taut
You look down for one millisecond of your infinite life
The scissors draw near the string
You see the screen and the words mean nothing now
All that matters is the snip that no one can hear as the string is cut
Crunching metal, sirens blaring, jaws of life
People stepping on glass
Broken into a thousand shards on the ground
The shouts of people and shredding of metal all fade away
The only sound left is the tinkling, nightmarish melody of the glass on the ground
The glass that was once smooth and clear now destroyed
It can never be put back
It will never fit together
It is forever shattered
