Freedom.

Next to me, Megan extracted weed from a plastic bag and packed her pipe, then held a lighter flame up to the bowl. Instantly, the smell of marijuana filled the car.

“There goes the new car smell,” I muttered.

“I’m christening it.” She handed me the pipe, which I waved away.

Trying to smoke less these days. But the smell of marijuana conjured up old memories. “Actually, why the hell not?” I was feeling good.

I took the pipe from her, plugged the carb hole, and inhaled. The smoke burned deep in my lungs, but I held it in, then let it out slowly with only a small cough.

We passed it back and forth, and the high crept up on me like sleep until I lost track of my own thoughts.

Instead, the needle of the speedometer occupied a great deal of my attention.

Fifty miles per hour.

The purr of my new car brought out my sense of daring. “Let’s see how fast this baby can go,” I said. The pedal bottomed out under my toes, and the car raced around a curve.

A red light glowed ahead.

“Leona!” Megan shouted.

I slammed on the brakes, and the car shuddered to a stop just shy of the line. “Brake check.” I peered left, then right. Two abandoned residential streets. No one about.

The light turned green, and we glided forward.
