THE GETAWAY

2 0 0
                                    

The idling car
At the corner
In the shade

The driver
Sunglasses on
Watching the entryway

A figure emerged
Followed by three
All hop into the backseat

Burning rubber
Adrenaline rushing
Sirens blaring

Quick chase
Lose the trail
Freedom looming ahead
