Deja Vu

There I was, driving down Gallivan Ave. in my white 2002 Oldsmobile Alero. I purchased it over the summer and spent a lot of time and money ensuring it was one of the flyest and fastest cars in town. I was in love with every inch of the car, from its dark grey, mint condition interior, to its flawless, white finish. When I drove it, I felt on top of the world. Today however was different; something didn't seem quite right. When I woke up, I immediately felt a chill in my bones. I only get that feeling when something bad is going to happen.
