Sitting stiffly in front of the steering wheel, I do as my father told me and gently start the car. Carefully I drove it to the middle of the street double-checking, the rearview mirror just in case that a car or a bike suddenly appears. I successfully did the firsts meters without any problems. I made it to the end of my desolated street. Everything was fine, no cars, no kids, no dogs, nothing to worry about.
Suddenly, Tim, that annoying kid with his red ball, sees me from his porch. I saw his face while I was anxiously approaching his ostentatious house, and I knew that he was planning something. Carefully lying my feet on the brakes expecting for him to run in front of the car and my nervous self, I pass in front of his house. I was driving so slowly that I made his target extremely easy. His shiny red ball hit me square in the face making me lose control of the car and hit the brakes just in time before crashing the car against the big oak tree of Mr. Ferguson.
