17 April 2012
Sitting there on the race track grid, my heart pounded.
Facing forward from the back of the pack, looking at the other cars in front of me, hearing the soft purring of 7 other engines, quickly becoming growls as the traffic light began to fade.
The bespectacled marshal dropped his chequered flag and the race roared into life, a sea of colour in the crowd around us, screaming our names, as we roared our way to first corner.
Carefully drifting my way around it, narrowly avoiding yellow and green debris flying over the circuit, I slowly picked my way up into first place.
All of a sudden, KRACK! A flash of lightning came from the sky, smashing into my car causing me to lose control, narrowly avoiding a sheer cliff leading down to an ocean below.
My car limped its way up the final straight, the 7 others fast approaching. A blue flash came from behind me when I was mere metres from the finish line.
"No It can't be! Not again??" I screamed, as a blue shell smashed into me, making me come last.
"God I hate mario kart" I shouted, throwing my controller to the floor in anger!
