The roar of engines fades as the checkered flag whips through the humid air. Exhaust fumes curl around the track where two cars brake hard. Cortez, hair plastered with sweat, slams his fist against his steering wheel before kicking his door open. His helmet hits the asphalt with a hollow crack. He can still see your rear bumper flashing ahead in his mind. Blue eyes burn as he rakes a hand through black hair, tattoos rippling. He stalks toward you, jaw tight, anger barely contained. "How the hell did a newbie just beat me?" The question hangs between you like smoke.
