On Um Manaf's Way to Jam3a

The radio plays softly as Um Manaf switches from station to station looking for a good song; the weather is nice and warm and Um Manaf makes the best of it by rolling down all her windows.

It's a two lane road and Um Manaf contemplates turning left as a gold Lexus Jeep flashes its headlights at her from behind. He is inches...no centimeters away from her car and is in too much of a hurry.

"Ya3ni wain betroo7 el shari3 wagef" Um Manaf mutters finally pulling out of the way and letting the jeep continue in its way.

Seconds later the jeep finds itself behind yet another car and Um Manaf notices his headlights blaring at the other car once again.

"ghabi" Um Manaf mutters finally choosing a radio station and leaning back.

The Lexus jeep finally gets past the next two cars and in an attempt to take advantage of what little empty road he sees ahead increases his speed way over the 80 KM speed limit.

In his stupid attempt to continue at the high speed he's driving at he pulls a hard right to avoid the car in front of him, only to cut off another car in the same lane. The small black Toyota swerves right to avoid being hit by the Lexus and flies over the sidewalk and into the wall at a speed of no less than 80 KM.

Um Manaf, unable to stop with all the traffic, gets a glimpse of the car folding in half as it collides with the wall.

Gold Lexus Jeep is out of sight before anyone can think of taking its plate number.
