thank you for today's prompt. Below is the result of my five minutes.
Harry pressed the pedal to the mettle. It was 7:30 am, November 13, 2070.
“Daddy!”
“Yes, sweetheart,” Harry responds, glancing in the rearview mirror. The speedometer rises.
“I forgot my water bottle.”
“We’ll just have to do without today, sweetheart.”
“But Daddy..”
“Hush now, I need to concentrate.”
It was 7:37, and School started at 7:40, being late was not an option. Schools are far and few between these days, and any infraction meant expulsion or worse.
Then, up ahead, two cars formed a roadblock. Gangsters, probably, hoping to extract a toll.
“Put your seatbelt on; we’re busing through!” Harry screamed as the engine roared in acceleration.
