Narrative

Every morning Lucas Boyle rides his 1989 Bianchi road bike to Seattle University campus in pursuit of his Fine Arts Degree. One morning as he was coasting in the bike lane on 12th Ave, which runs parallel to the University, a forrest green 2007 Range Rover took a right hand turn directly into Lucas' path. The vehicle had not signaled and Lucas had no time to dodge the collision. The impact launched Lucas over his handlebars, ricocheting him off the hood of the car and then down to the pavement, breaking his elbow and splitting his helmet in half. As Lucas lied on the concrete grimacing in pain, the driver of the vehicle stepped out of the car and said, "Why don't you watch where you're going?"
