Don't know where I was going with this >.> (4/4)

The street was particularly clear
Tonight. It left me feeling inexplicably
Nervous.
There was no reason. I should’ve been
Happy there was no traffic as usual
Especially as I was in a hurry
My thoughts were filled with all the things I need to do
As soon as my mind cleared
It was too late.
I swerved the car hard to the left.
Brakes squealed.
Tires screeched.
Miraculously, we were both unharmed
I was particularly anxious
Because it was not my car
Any damage incurred, the repairs would
Have to come out of pocket.
Shaking my head,
Knowing I should consider her first
My eyes wandered the street
Inexplicable
Occurrences happened in stories
Not my story. Not to me
Not.My.Story
She appeared in front of my car.
I couldn’t recall any details.
I was staring right at her
I only knew it was a she
Nothing else.
Realizing she (shortened) the distance between us
I snapped out of it -
Threw it in reverse
And sped away.
I lived to fight another day
And there was no damage to the car.
I didn’t tell anyone this tale
Mostly because I would be admitting
To reckless driving.
I’m not responsible for what didn’t happen.
