Skateboard

(A Softer World, the best webcomic in the world. www.asofterworld.com)

The first feeling is exhilaration.

My arms hit the ground. The sound is like a mallet against a crab.
Pure fucking exhilaration.

Beside me, my skateboard is a stranded turtle on its back. The wheels shriek with each spin.

And then--oh. Oh, the pain.

The second feeling is pain.

Naomi’s camera beeps and she makes a triumphant noise in her throat. “You totally got it that time,” she says. “Tell me you got it.”

I hold my breath for a moment until I can say, “We got it.”
