In Every Car Crash. . .

* Another fictional scene *
I had a strange thought the other day,
On a road trip to Santa Monica.
What if, at 100kph, I opened the car door and jumped out?
I wondered. . .
Would I survive the crash?
~~~
But then, I remember thinking something even stranger,
I didn't care if I were to survive or not.
So I went and pulled the handle. . .
But the door was safely locked.
~~~
Damn.

* Another completely fictional 'scene' *
~~~
I'm known as one of the 'popular' kids at school:
After all, I'm the captain of the football and basketball teams at my campus.
I'm what you'd call a 'jock'.
I go to all the parties, I get average grades and I have lots of 'friends' - but not one of them seem to understand the scars.
They're not birthmarks:

They're my father's signature.
