I started writing a story and I was wondering how it sounds so far. The Thrill of the Ride
Chapter One: Speed is a Virtue
It was a cold night in the dockyard which smelled of fish and salt-
water, no one was there except for us. We were street racers, and there was a lot of us. I lined up at the start and there were three others. I knew them, we have raced before. Im Xander and this is my story. Lena, Paul, and Gear were lined up with me at the start. It was a 2 v 2 race so whoever crossed the line first took the team to victory. I was partnered with Gear and we were against Paul and Lena. I started my engine and revved. I could feel the whole car vibrate through me.

Go time, I took my foot off the gas and drove. My 2018 BMW M4 was modified for drift so I was good through the tight turns in the docks. Toward the end there was a bascule bridge. We had to successfully jump it to finish. I sped up and waited for the perfect moment. NOW, I activated my nitrous oxide and jumped the bridge. Landing on the other side I crossed the finish line. I got out of my car only to see Gear land in front of me. Paul came soon after, but then there was Lena. She activated too early, she wouldn’t make it. I got back in my car and sped toward the bridge.

I jumped and I hit the tail end of Lena's car and whipped her to the finish line. The only problem, I didn’t boost either, I just barely landed on the other side. But I didn’t land right, I started tumbling over and over again until the car came to a halt. I had rolled straight into a shipping container. My car was upside down, and so was I. My leg was stuck under the dash and I couldn’t move it. The smell of gas and nitrous filled the air. Our mechanic, Chuck, came over in his tow truck and helped me get out. But I barely managed to get out.

Chapter Two: A Fresh Start
2 months later, I got back into my car for the first time since the crash. It was quite traumatic, but I got in and started the engine.
