That darn floormat...

Another prompt from then"642 things to write about" book that I enjoyed.. I should really try to write  something where people don't die... #nah



Jenny was walking to the Paradise Theatre when out of nowhere the car hit her. She smiled as she flew over the hood of the car because she didn't feel the pain. But she could hear the Paul Chambers song on the car radio over the rushing wind and it was her favorite song. She was still smiling as she hit the pavement, the lyrics her last thoughts as her life drained away.

Ken looked up as he heard a thump. Finally he was able to slam on the brakes but it was too late. He saw something fly over the hood and he knew it was a body. As the Paradise Theatre loomed closer in his windshield he looked down at his new floor mats. 'Damn these floor mats... I just wanted to impress Jenny... She thought my car would look so much cooler with them...' He stared at the imposing theatre front, knowing it was too late for him as it was too late for the person who had gone over his hood and he smiled. 'Peter Chambers... This is Jenny's favorite song... '
