Drive Drunk

By DarkPaladine

I  don't give a shit the drunk driver said as he looked over the cops shoulder at the men who laid on the ground dead.  If he had seen me coming he should have run. But that is hard to do with a walker when you reach 81.I only had one beer which ain't so bad. But you blew the tube off the meter that the cops had. The numbers you blew they almost reached 9.  Well hell said the drunk thats a mighty fine wine. You could see all eyes turn on him at about this time.                            You could see the cops anger in his face that day as he reached for his gun to blow the drunk away. He put the thought to the back of his mind,for he knew this man was going to do some kind of time.When the drunk driver arrived in court the next day his whole life had just went away. You see the cop was right that he would do time every day, for he had taken the life of his owen father and son that day.Now if you want to drink and drive go right ahead, But remember this either you are someone else could end up dead.

    pretty interesting. Driving drunk is a big deal and it's sad that so many still do it without considering the potential consequences
