The Death

She was 17 he was 21, racing through the night simply having fun.

Speeding like a bullet neither of them thinking nothing wrong with a little harmless drinking.

He curled his arm around her not seeing the curve ahead, she softly whispered "I love you," then suddenly they were dead.

Her father grieved in anguish his mind ceasing to think, he vowed to kill the person who had given the boy the drink.

Rushing to the kitchen to mix a drink or two, he found this note from his daughter which broke his heart in two.

                 "DAD PLEASE FORGIVE ME I KNOW IT WASN'T RIGHT, BUT I TOOK YOUR BOTTLE OF LIQUOR ALONG WITH ME TONIGHT."


The author's comments:

I decided that life is in everyway ironic. No matter what we do our life choices some how seem to catch up with us eventually. Whether it be good or bad. So after thinking about the choices I've made throughout my life and how it could affect my future goals it all made sense to me.

Think before you act because you never really know what the outcome may be, all you can do is good for yourself and those around you whom may be affected by your choices.
