How could he let himself run out of gas in the middle of a highway
He starts screaming and punching his steering wheel
In the middle of a 4 lane highway
He throws his door open and steps out in front of oncoming traffic that has to swerve out of the way
With no disregard for himself he runs towards the shoulder barely dodging a fusion of man metal and asphalt
He starts running along the shoulder of the road until he hits a big rock and falls scraping his knees
His pants are torn
He's bleeding
He's limping
After about a half mile he realizes how crazy he looks
It's like he's in a fog
Cars racing past
Some honking
He didn't even know the exact stretch of road the accident happened on
What was he doing
He turned to try to flag down a car
Waving his hands
Looking desperate
Noticing one stopping just seconds after he started waving
He lets out a sigh of relief
A man steps out of the car
Oh fuck it's a cop
Sir is that your car back by Mike marker 51?
Is it in the middle of the road?
You think this is funny boy?
Is this some kind of entertainment for you?
He laughed
Not because he was enjoying the moment but because of how fucked up his life had become since yesterday morning
Sir put your hands behind your head
And walk slowly towards me
He laughs harder
This is fuckin great
Sir do what I told you
He starts making wild hand gestures
You know my life was perfect
He starts crying
I was having the most amazing night of my life
Now she's gone
She's fucking gone!
She could be kidnapped and dead
She probably hates me
The cop reaches for his belt
Put your hands above your head
Now!
He starts walking towards the cop wagging his finger
Do you know-
Zzzzzzzzz
The cop tased him
I told you boy
Now I don't know what kind of psycho shit show you got goin on in yer head and I'm not taking my chances
I'm not a damn therapist so what we're going to do is get you some help
The cop is grunting while struggling to handcuff him
He throws him in the back of the car
He just laughs
This is fuckin great
...
Can you tell me about the accident? From last night.
A car was blown up.
Tell me boy
What do you know about it
Nothing that's why I'm asking you
I think you're going to need a lawyer
He sat back and kept his mouth shut
