WSF2023 - Little Timmy's need for speed. Non-writer

A car gets you there faster. We have the fuel you need but drive safely.

Hey dude, do you know how fast my car is, it's faster than yours?

Hah, want to bet? See you at 8 this evening at the entrance of the abandoned motor factory.

Shirley put on her mini skirt and boots. The guys are drinking and you feel it's a wild summer evening of odors and sweat. The crows aren't scary at all and you can hear sirens coming from the city.

Two piles of $2.000 they agreed on are handed over and they both looked the smartest. Nowhere Bob is going to make it and the car door is slammed closed. Yea, Shirley knows how to wave a flag. Dust rises on the trails from the technology they want to make money with. Time is relative but it only took a few seconds. A bad road, pieces of metal sticking out of a pile of scrap at the side of it and a blowout. The flesh is so weak. The winner loses.

Shirley's leggs and a dusty road were about the last things Timmy saw, but hey, that's science.




THE END

Tight, and dark. Although I was hoping for a bit more to the 'science' angle than the last line.

Nevertheless, thank you for taking the time to let us enjoy it!

PS - I wonder if Shirley was hurt?

Neat, short and somewhat bitter, kind of reminding me of William Gibson back when he was a bit more energetic
