Now this was a feeling he'd missed: the wind in his hair, the adrenaline in his veins, and nothing on his mind but the images of buildings and bystanders evaporating exponentially in the periphery of his vision.[break][break]

Ever since 'the incident' (what a fucking joke of a name, but what else was he supposed to call it in the eternal aftermath?), everything had felt slow. Obviously, walking had become something of a task by itself, with running completely taken off the table – crazy the things you take for granted – but it'd felt as though life itself had slowed down to a crawl since his days in Kanto had ended and those in Hoenn had begun. Slow recovery, slow designs, slow thoughts, slowed down, down, down. Nikki hadn't even thought about the speed of a bike since he'd wrecked his back home, and that was years ago. Seeing them lined up, glossy, probably more expensive than all the money he'd make in his life had initially only been another reminder of fonder days lost behind. It wasn't until he saw just how much of a jackass the owner of this one in particular was that he'd had the bright idea to steal it. If you can't beat 'em, after all, rob 'em blind. Retribution.[break][break]

And what glorious retribution indeed. Shitface McMike was probably blowing a gasket halfway across town right now, but here in the moment, Nikki was living out old daydreams and forgetting what it felt like to feel trapped in one's own tired body. It felt great. And precisely because it felt great, it all had to come to a terrible halt.[break][break]

What was that up ahead? A tree? A person? Either way: Do not pass 'Go', do not collect $200.[break][break]

Sweet mother of fu—”[break][break]

This was the last (semi-)intelligent thing out of his lips before anarchy came crashing down. His bike turned, then skidded, then flew to who even knew where – and it's rider? Well, check back next post for a pulse.
