The VesselA Story by C>CBreathing carefully a grappled with the bike lock, it was getting dark and this wasn't a neighborhood to be in after. I wasn't in a mood to deal with any moots and the like. Breathing into my sweatshirt I finally managed to unlock the bike and free it from the sign it was stuck against. I quickly got on and began to ride. The air began to cool, and with each push I felt my bike going faster. The pedals and the strain in my muscles as I went up a small hill. I refused to slow down,and began to such in air sharper. The wind pushed at my hair, and I could feel the adrenaline as I continue to go on my way. Faster and faster. I could the feel the sounds and cars blur away from me. A type of trance, that kept me alive even for a few moments. I didn't care where I was going, as long as I was getting away. Away from that neighborhood, away from my life. That momentary freedom felt epic beyond my youth. I was going down hill, even faster. I raised myself from the seat, balancing long enough to lift my hands in an unsteady thrill. The wind pushed my hair around wildly. I could barely hear myself laugh. Suddenly the bike wobbles. S**t, I lean forward. Almost completely hitting the ground. The bike goes sideways and my leg gets caught. I can't feel much until the bike stops. It burns, and I can see my leg raw. I stay there for a while. Letting myself ache and groan. Eventually I get up and bike again. Towards, who cares to know?
