     The wind hits my face harshly as I increase my speed down the highway. Any other day I would've had my helmet on. But this is a different situation. See I didn't have enough time to grab my helmet, I was too busy almost getting killed.

     Today just isn't my day is it? I thought I was safe. I thought I could start over. That they'd never find me. Those were just shattered hopes of mine though.  Danger followed me everywhere but I have to admit, something in me loves the thrill.

    My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of a van coming up on my left side. I swerve just in time before the van almost knocks me off the side of the highway.

     "Fucking pricks," I yell over the wind, revving my bike to gain some distance.

     This highway was endless and I didn't know how long this could go on before it ended in chaos. I had to come up with a plan fast or I'll become buzzard food.

     Gunshots ring out behind me causing me to swerve again. As I pull out my handgun from the back of my jeans a bullet lodges itself in my left thigh. "Fuck," I growl. Out of the corner of my eye I could see them gaining on me. I couldn't let it end like this though. I grit my teeth and without looking, start firing rounds behind me.

I look back to see the black van swerve and to my disappointment, see no holes in it. If I survived this I need to seriously practice my shooting.

My leg is throbbing and blood is flowing out fast. With no other option I speed up, even if my head is starting to get hazy. But nothing could save me now. Before I could make any other move the front of the van hits my back tire.

     Suddenly I feel airless, like I'm floating on a cloud. That soon ended as I hit the ground, hard. I didn't even have enough time to wish for a peaceful death as I could feel my bones shatter and my mind go blank. If I wasn't granted a peaceful one, I could at least be granted a swift death.

     Or so I had hoped.
